Dr. Harvey, a great London physician, many 
years aeo made the first great discovery in med- 
ical science. After a great number of experi- 
ments he found "that the blood of all animals 
circulates through the blood-vessels to all parts 
and organs of the body." Before this people be- 
lieved that the arteries were filled with air. 

When Dr. Harvey first made this statement 
he was hooted at, scoffed at, and laughed at. 
And many believed his mind was unbalanced. It 
' was not until several years later that the truth 
7 'of his marvelous discovery was proved. It hap- 
/• pened in this way: A man being accidentally 
'I injured in the streets, his side being torn open 
the beating of his heart could be plainly seen, 
also the circulation of blood through all the large 
veins' and arteries. This proved Harvey's theory 
of the circulation of the blood and ^he was no 
longer considered by the people an insane man, 
but the greatest physician of his time. He holds 
the honor of making the first great medical dis- 
covery. 

The establishment of this great turth com- 
pletely revolutionized the method of treatment of 
all diseases, then in use. Old theories, long held 
' I as facts fell to the ground. And new theories 
y and practices adopted which proved of much 
^ tivgreater value, and demonstrated that at last the 
jidoctors and scientists were on he right track. 
,'[^As an instance of the curious methods practiced 
.^ by physicians before Harvey's time: It was be- 
lieved (by physicians as well as the people) that 
ground rat's bones were good for cancers and 
tumors. It was also believed that certain drugs 
would act only in the full of the moon, and that 
others would act only in time of the new moon, 
etc. 

The most wonderful discovery came when it 

was found that medicines, drugs, etc., could be 

given into the blood and by the blood circulated 

to the different organs, those organs could be 

,,, stimulated to intense action, or by using another 

••X)drug those same organs could be stopped in their 

'''action and even paralyzed if desired. 

For example, Apomorphia can be injected into 
the blood, the blood will circulate it to the brain 
and then to the stomach and cause a violent spell 
of vomiting. Or, if Morphine (or opium) is 
taken into the stomach, or injected into the blood, 
it is circulated to the brain, and causes sleep. 



In a like manner a directly opopsite effect can 
be produced by injecting the drug, Strychnine, 
intO' the blood, or it can be given by the mouth 
into the stomach where the stomach gives it up 
to the blood and is then circulated by the blood 
to the brain and nerves and every muscle in the 
body is excited to intense convulsive action. 

And thus in certain diseases when the blood 
becomes poisoned, medicines can be given that 
will act directly on tke blood in such a way as 
to destroy the disease germs and cure the disease. 
The facts of this discovery proved "that certain 
medicines when given into the system will be 
circulated by the blood to certain given organs 
producing a certain result." Ever since this dis- 
covery medical science has been improving every 
year. Every year some new and wonderful dis- 
coveries are being made. The latest great in- 
vention is that of the X-Rays used for the pur- 
poses of diagnonis and cure of certain diseases. 
These great discoveries were all made along the 
line of medical chemistry for the relief and cure 
of diseases of man and animals. 

It remained for the present age to make the 
researches, study and discoveries along the lines 
of agricultural science. If certain medicines could 
be compounded which would act upon the di- 
gestive organs of animals in such a way as to in- 
crease the digestion of food eaten, or would act 
on the blood in such a way as to increase the lay- 
ing on of fat, or the production of eggs in poultry, 
would it not be a great step in the advancement 
of agricultural science, and of great profit to the 
farmer? [ •■■■.i -£J 

The p^reat questions for the agricultural sci- 
entists to solve were: Can animals be given a 
certain scientific compound which will act on 
them in such a way as to increase rapid and ex- 
tensive growth, or increase the action of any par- 
ticular organ of their bodies? Yes, it can be 
done, we are doing it every day. Vegetable grow- 
ers and horticulturists no longer wait for spring, 
but protected by their hot-houses they grow 
fruits and vegetables at almost any season of 
the year, a feat which would have orreatly sur- 
prised the people of one hundred years ago. Large 
poultry raisers no longer wait for brood hens to 
hatch their eggs, they place them in incubators 
and hatch them at will.

STOCK FOOD FEEDING 

But the recent discoveries of most interest to 
farmers and stockmen are yet to be described. 
These discoveries which relate to the Digestive 
and Fattening Foods and Medicines which when 
taken into the stomach of animals are circulated 
by the blood to the diflferent organs of the body 
and makes them increase the production of fat, 
muscle and bone. 

Take for example the recently discovered sci- 
entific product known as GOLD CON HOG 
FATTENER. It can be given to a poor, thin, 
sickly hog, it is immediately taken up by the 
blood and circulated to the tissues and organs 
of the body and at once begins to cause a rapid 
growth of fat. Is that not marvelous? It can 
be done, impossible as it seems. And is being 
done every day by up-to-date, progressive farm- 
ers all over the world. The Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener, as well as containing the wonderful ingredi- 
ent that induced the growth of fat, also contains 
certain medicines which act on the stomach in 
such a way as to aid the digestion of all food 
eaten, thus saving waste of any food. It also 
contains a blood purifier so as to keep up the 
health of the hop- while being fattened. These 
scientifically fed hogs make the best meat for 
eating purposes; become the best breeders, and 
are in great demand on the markets. 

Years of research and study have been spent 
along the line of agricultural science to pro- 
vide a means whereby the great losses could be 
stopped which farmers suffer every year through 
the indigestion of their animals. This would 
mean a great saving of feed. If the digestive 
organs of the animals could be reached through 
the circulation of the blood in such a way as to 
superinduce active digestion all waste of food by 
indigestion would be stopped, thus making a sav- 
ing of at least 15 to 25 per cent of feed over the 
old method of feeding. And that has now come 
to pass. Such discoveries have been made, and 
all wide awake farmers are taking advantage of 
it and reaping the benefits. The Gold Coin Fat- 
tenmg Foods supply the long felt want, their great 
action is on the digestive organs. They stimulate 
the digestive processe-s to the highest point and 
thus stop all waste. They are guaranteed by; the 
Gold Coin Food Company to make a saving of at 
least 15 to 25 per cent of feed. 

Another great discovery in the agricultural 
realm is the Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. This 
wonderful product when given into the stomach 
of a steer* or dry cow is instantly absorbed by 
the blood, circulated to all Llie tissues of the body 
making, and increasing the making of pure, white, 
healthy fa';, at the same time it contains ingredi- 
ents whicn increase the growth of flesh and bones, 
and the volume of blood. 

When fed to a milk cow the increased volume 
of blood, and the increased fat products are turned 
into milk, most marvelously increasing the quan- 
tity of milk and the butlcr-fat, thus materially in- 
creasing the yield from the cow, in many cases 
almost doubling the yield. These great discov- 
eries are all for the benefit of the farmers, stock 
raisers and dairymen. And we are pleased to 
see how rapidly the agricultural people all over 
the world are taking up the new methods. In 
fact a farmer who does not use these foods can- 
not comnete with his neighbor who does, because 
the gain derived from their use is twofold. First, 
it increases the yield in most cases 25 to 30 per 
cent, and, Second, because it makes a saving of 
at least 15 to 25 per cent of feed. 



BASED ON SCIENCE. 

THE GREAT LAWS OF HEREDITY. Fat 
parents will as a rule have fat children — that is 
the secret of improved breeding. If you are 
raising cattle for beef select the beef type, the 
Herefords, Shorthorns, Angus, Galloway, etc., and 
their young will inherit the same beef qualities. 
If you are raisins? cattle for milk select the milkj^ 
type, Jerseys, Ayershires, etc. If you are raisirrg . 
for both milk and beef select the milk strained | 
beef type. For breeders always select such of I 
your herd as perform the functions you expect of 
them on the least feed, and in all probability their 
young will inherit the same traits and thus be 
great money makers for you. The same with : 
chickens. Select your best egg layers if you are 
raising for eggs. 

Great discoveries, too, have been made along , 
the line of poultry raiisng. A farmer, or any oiv- ' 
whether experienced or not, can make great) , 
profits in poultry at little cost and little labor byl 
merely using the great new scientific preparation. 
Gold Coin Poultry Food. This wonderful sub- 
stance contains all the elements that induce abun- 
dant egg production. Some poultry raisers who 
have used it say it increased their egg production 
to as high as 50 per cent. It also contains a de- 
veloping food which rapidly increases the bone 
and flesh growth of young fowls, thus making 
the raising of poultry for meat a very profitable 
business. 

The Labors of the Agricultural Scientists Have 
Surely Been Crowned With Success. The useful 
chemical compounds discovered by them will , 
leave lasting impression upon the agricultural ' 
people of the world for centuries to come. Hun- J 
dreds of other new and useful discoveries have 1 
been made, which we have not attempted to de- I 
scribe in this brief article. But if you are an 
up-to-date farmer and believe in improved breed- 
ing, improved labor-saving machinery, etc., you 
must easily understand, from what has been said 
above, how new fat-making and food-saving med- 
icinal compounds can be invented and discovered 
which will increase digestion, purify the blood 
and keep the animal up to the highest standard 
of health, thereby making big profits for the 
farmer and stock raiser. Every word of the fol- 
lowing pages of this book will be intensely in- 
teresting to all agricultural people who make any | 
pretense of keeping up-to-date. It tells in full ( 
how to use the great new scientific foods and*' 
fattening products sold under the name of Golm 
Coin Foods and Fattening preparations. Ever35f^ 
farmer will make more money by feeding them.'V 
The new Gold Coin Foods and Fattening prod- 
ucts should not be classed with the many so- 
called Stock Foods and Condition Powders, 
which have been on the markets for years and 
long since classed as out-of-date and far inferior 
to the Gold Coin preparation, simply because they 
are not based on the new scientific principles of ^ 
digestion and indigestion, as are the Gold Coin 
Foods. Read the following pages of this book 
and you will easily learn the differences. The 
name "Gold Coin" was selected for these prepara-^ • 
tions because it was believed it would be easier^ 
for everybody to remember than some sicientific V 
name, and because "Gold Coin" tells in eieht 1 
letters the purpose of the foods, namely — to make 
coin (money) for the agricultural people. Every 
package of the Gold Coin preparations is guaran- 
teed by the company to make "gold coin" for the 
farmer. Try it on our guarantee.

An Excellent Type o£ Pure Bred Ayrshire Cow — Dual Purpose Type. 

The Avrshires are certainly an excellent cow for the general farmer. Mr. J. J. Hill is breeding 
this type almost exclusively on his immense farm near St. Paul, where all who desire can call and 
see what excellent general results he is getting with this breed. They are what would be called a 
dual purpose cow. Easy to fatten when their usefulness as milkers is no longer desired. If you 
own Ayrshires try Gold Coin Cattle Food on them. It will make extra money for you. Read below. 



SPECIAL BREEDS. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is applicable to all 
of the domestic breeds, and while its effect on 
"scrub" cattle is to bring them to a finish and ap- 
pearance, and give them a market value above 
cattle fattened in ordinary ways, it is in the mar- 
velous improving qualities and power of adding 
perfect "finish" to blooded stock that Gold Coin 
,^ Cattle Fattener is most highly prized by breeders 
of cattle. 

Cows fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener drop 

calves that are stronger and more vigorous than 

they would otherwise be, and thus to other profits 

^ may be added that of getting large heavy weight 

' calves, doubling your ordinary veal profits. 

FOR FATTENING STEERS. 

. At $7.50 per hundred Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener Food is about half as expensive as most of 
the stock foods on the market. And it is twice 
over better, because Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is 

r> made especially for cattle and it does the work 
when "stockfoods" utterly fail. Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener is compounded of ingredients that cannot 
fail to produce fat, because it is prepared espe- 
cially from known fat producing remedies. It is 
perfectly harmless. It can even be taken by peo- 

■\ pie. Considering the result obtained it is far the 
cheapest Cattle Fattener on the market today. 

Calves look like butter when fattened on 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, one tablespoonful 
twice a day in only skim milk eind ground feed. 
You try it. We guarantee it. 



THE AYRSHIRES. 



Ayrshires should be selected as nearly pure 
blood as possible, whether buying for breeding or 
dairying. See that they have all the gentleness 
and good constitution of their breed. See that the 
eye is full and placid; tapering nose and clean 
nostrils; horns of medium size and fine texture, 
with an outward and upward turn and set wide 
apart. Get them with straight or nearly straight 
back, with long tail on level with it, and with 
small flat boned, clean cut limbs. 

This is superlatively a dairy breed, though they 
fatten well and fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
they "form" very readily and make some of the 
best of beef with a most desirable mixture of fat 
and lean. Fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener the 
Ayrshires are eagerly bought on the hoof, and 
highly prized by consumers. 

Their natural productiveness of large quanti- 
ties of milk, rich in butter and cheese forming 
elements, is greaty enhanced by the use of Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener, and in addition their calves 
are matured earlier and do well on skimmed milk 
and Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, thus again help- 
ing to turn over more rapidly the money in 
them. 

With such a cow the five or six hundred gal- 
lons of milk she gives in a year can easily be in- 
creased on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener to seven or 
eight, or even nine, hundred gallons a year, and 
the 225 pounds of butter raised to 275 pounds or 
more.

TAINTS IN MILK. 

A bitter taste in milk may come from a weed 
or some herb in the feed. It may come from 
some derangement or diseased condition in the 
cows, or it may be caused by some germ in the 
milk room. Sometimes it requires the very 
closest examination to discover the real cause. 
Separate the milk to see if it came from only 
one cow or the whole herd. If it is due to any 
derangement in the body of the animal Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener will soon correct all disturbances 
and make the cow well again. It will also in- 
crease the flow of milk, and enrich its quality. 

6 Feeds for a cent — a 50-pound tub for only 
$3.75. 

Test it on our guarantee, it will increase your 
profit 15 to 25 per cent, or it costs you nothing. 

STEERS LIKE IT. 

It keeps them feeling well — it regulates the 
stomach and kidneys — sharpens the appetite so 
they eat up clean all rough fodder and hunt up 
the waste food and eat it. It makes them fat and 
sleek, with a fine, glossy coat and excellent 
finish. Every ounce of food they eat is digested 
and turned into flesh and fat. Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener shortens the period of fattening and 
saves 15 to 25 per cent of the grain. Try it. 

THE GREAT MILK PRODUCER. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to in- 
crease the flow of milk from 15 to 50 per cent. 
It is easy to understand how it does it. Every 
ounce of food the cow eats is digested and turned 
into fat or milk. It also makes the milk richer. 



IT IS NOT HOW MUCH YOU FEED; IT IS HOW . 
MUCH YOUR COWS DIGEST 

that makes milk and cream. No matter how 
liberally j^ou feed your cows, if the feed doesn't 
contain the ingredients that make increased milk, 
successful dairjnng is out of the question. Best 
give your cows Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and 
they will be as good milkers and butter makers, 
even though standing in the stall, as if running 
in the pasture. Remember the milk and cream 
your cow gives is what makes your money — 
therefore, increase the milk flow all you can. We r 
guarantee Gold Coin Cattle Fattener to increase 
j^our profits 15 to 25 per cent. Test it on our 
guarantee. "Gold Coin Cattle Fattener" only 
costs $3.75 for a 50-pound tub, or $2.00 for a 25- 
pound pail. The greatest fattener or milk pro- -^^ 
ducer in the world. 

30 to 60 days time is saved in fattening cattle 
by Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. 

Skim milk with a half measureful of Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener in it is as good — even better 
— than fresh milk to make calves grow. '* 

Skim milk and Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 

makes a healthful drink for calves, it makes them . 

grow better than fresh milk. Put a half measure- -i^ 

ful in each feed. | 

IT CURES SICK COWS AND CALVES AND ^ 

INCREASES THE MILK. .' 

The same qualitj^ that gives health and 
strength gives an increased flow of milk. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener purifies the blood, prevents 
milk taints and prevents flaws and skin diseases.

First Prize Hoist ein Cott — (Owned by Mr. John B. Irwin.) 

Hoan Marie Mechthilde (53732) won the first prize at the Minnesota State Fair, 1&02 and 1903. 
She is a most excellent specimen of the HOLSTEIN type. Her tests are: Butter, at 2 years of 
age, 14 lbs., 14 ozs., in 7 days; 522 6-100 in 12 mos. Milk, 12,594i4 lbs. in one year. _ She is owned 
by Mr. John B. Irwin, and is a good representative of his celebrated herd of Holsteins. Mr. Irwin 
is using Gold Coin Cattle Food. It is certainly the greatest Cattle Food ever invented. It is guar- 
anteed to make extra money for you. Write for some. 



HOLSTEIN-FRIESiANS CATTLE. 

We now come to an entirely different breed of 
cattle. The Holstein-Friesians were a pure breed 
of cattle herded by ancient barbarians on the Teu- 
tonic hills, and prized as the greatest riches of 
a once nomadic people. As early as 1625 these 
cattle were sent to America and long before that 
these great Holland Dutch cattle attained the 
same characteristics which mark them today. It 
is the oldest breed known. It is in this breed that 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener proves of the greatest 
' value. In their native surrounding these cattle find 
growing wild the herbs and roots nature designed 
to keep them in a healthy state. Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener furnishes just these elements, and to the 
importer and breeder many disappointments must 
come when his stock stays poor and thin in spite 
of careful feeding. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
obviates all this difficulty and makes it possible to 
keep these cattle in their natural state of health 
and fatten them easily and quickly. These re- 
marks apply to fresh importations of cattle of any 
breed. 

The Holsteins are famous both as beef and 
dairy cattle. They have good digestive powers 
and when not using nutrition for milk, fatten 
nicely for the shambles. Try Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener on your Holsteins. The improvement 
will surprise you— it saves twenty per cent of the 
feed, and keeps them free from disease. 

In buying Holsteins, get the color black with 



white patches; short neck; ears well back and 
projecting; full dark limpid eye; short fine horns; 
broad hips; straight back; flat over shoulders; 
long narrow head; long tail well haired at the tip 
and strong straight legs. With a good herd of 
this breed fed with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, 
any dairyman can make barrels of rnoney, as well 
as have the finest looking herd obtainable.

Pure Bred HoIsteinlBull. 

The above picture shows Kean Jewel of Woodlake Farm (28725). He won 1st prize at the Minnesota State Pairs 
of 1901, 1902 and 1903. He is owned by J. B. Irwin, of Minneapolis, Minn. As a perfect type of pure bred Holstein 
nope better can be found. Mr. Irwin is feeding Gold Coin Cattle Food. If you own Holsteins you should use it, too. 
It is a money-maker for the farmer and dairyman. Anyone wishiner to purchase pure bred Holstein-Friesian Cattle will 
do well to correspond with Mr. Irwin. His cattle are well worth the monev. 



DEVON CATTLE. 

Great Britain has produced no better breed 
than this for oxen. They surpass any other breed. 
They are built for work, with powerful shoulders, 
back and leg muscles. They are quick on their 
feet, active, docile, intelligent and easily broken. At 
the same time their flesh has a richness and 
flavor that cannot be matched by any other 
beef in the world. They are handsome animals 
to look upon, and for this reason, are a favorite 
exhibition at fairs. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
puts gloss on the coat, a fire of vigor and health 
into these cattle, that makes them blue ribbon 
winners every time. They are as fat as the fat- 
test under Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, but it is 
not mere fat that judges decide upon in weighing 
the merits of contesting exhibits. Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener adds those qualities to exhibition 
stock that makes them prize winners in every in- 
stance, providing the cattle are of the exhibition 
class to start with. In fattening for show don't 
fail to feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. 

In buying Devons you make no mistake if you 
want a good beef producer. Feed them regularly 
■on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and you will raise 
the very finest beef in the world. 

Here is your chance to make 15 to 25 per cent 
on your stock. If Gold Coin Cattle Fattener fails 
to bring you pajdng results it won't cost you a 
cent. We want you to try it. 



WEST HIGHLAND CATTLE. 

The West Highland cattle are of Scottish 
origin, and come from the Western Highlands. 
Few have been imported into America, because of 
their small size and rough, shaggy coats. They 
are, however, hardy and fed on Gold Coin Cattle ^ 
Fattener, some very good results have been se-*' 
cured with them both in the dairy and for beef. 
Like our own wild Texan cattle and most other 
wild breeds, they have very long, sharp horns, 
and an uncertain temper.

on the Market and find that none of 
them contain the valuable ingredients that . 
ours does. The remarkable success of Gold Coin ) , 
Cattle Fattener is due to the fact that we havei 5 
spared no expense in making this the leading^ 
Cattle Food for Cattle. We take pride in hear- f 
ing that it succeeds where others fail, and that 
Cattle raisers, too, are restocking with Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener in place of other brands, and are 
getting much more profitable results.

First Prize Jersey Bull. 

The above picture is of Fontains Eminent (58225), the prize winner Jersey of the Minnesota 
State Fair, 1903. He is owned by Mr. Rolla Oliver, Dearborne, Mo. As a perfect type of Jersey 
Bull this is an excellent specimen. Mr. Oliver is a user of Gold Coin Cattle Food. If you have 
Jerseys you should use it, too. It will increase the production of milk and butter-fats, and make 
you 15 to 25 per cent extra profits. Try it. All who are looking for an opportunity to buy pure 
bred Jersey cattle will find Mr. Oliver's among the very finest, and well worth the price. 

This spareness is not a sign of bad health in a 
Jersey, and her slightly depressed back, high rump 
and tail, flat ribs and small limbs give her the 
appearance of being what she really is — an ideal 
cow developed in this special direction at the 
expense of all other qualities. 

The famous richness and quantity of Jersey 
milk is greatly increased by Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener and this food places the Jersey beyond 
all dispute at the top as the greatest butter pro- 
ducer in the world. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
saves grain and feed. 



JERSEY GATTLE. 

These are the most noted of the breeds from 
the three islands of Jersey, Guernsey, and Alder- 
ney which are ofif the French coast in the British 
Channel. On their native coast these breeds have 
been slowly developed through centuries and are 
kept pure in blood and never crossed by any 
other breed, though when imported into America 
all three breeds have been crossed with improve- 
ments in certain desired directions in special 
cases. However, it is the pure bred cattle that are 
famous and sought after and any crossing done 
is usually preferred to be done by fanciers for 
purposes of their own, and it must be confessed 
in most cases without particularly brilliant re- 
sults. Jerseys are still desirable as Jerseys, for 
the qualities that made them famous. Certainly 
there is no prettier animal anywhere than a pure 
bred Jersey fattened on Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener. Robust in health, fat as can profitably 
be made; with small aristocratic head and gentle 
mild eyes; face charming in its winsomness; 
horns short, curving slightly inward; sensitiveness 
shown in skin wrinkling to slight touch and lively 
ears with fine silky hairs, she is a picture good 
to look upon. 

The pure bred Jersey has a peculiar fawn 
color, and when giving milk looks almost emaci- 
ated, as though all the animal forces were given 
up to feeding and filling the enormous udder. 



ALDERNEYS. 



The Alderneys are smaller and more delicately 
formed than the Jerseys. These two breeds are 
very much alike, however, both being emphatic- 
ally butter producers, though surpassed as cheese 
makers by some other breeds. The Alderneys 
take kindly to Gold Coin Cattle Fattener as do 
Jerseys and show the same remarkable increase 
both in quality and quantity of milk. 

You certainly will use Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener if it will make money for you. If it don't 
make money for you it won't cost you a cent. 
Test it, and increase your profits.

A Prize ^Vinning Guernsey Ball. 



GUERNSEY CATTLE. 

This breed has replaced the Jerseys in the 
hearts of many fanciers. They are larger framed 
and give more milk. Though naturally the milk 
is not as rich as Jersey milk. A Guernsey cow 
fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener will compare 
favorably with any Jersey in the richness and 
butter-making qualities of her milk. Guernseys 
are famous for being easily fattened oflf for beef 
after their usefulness for the dairy is over. The 
rivalry between Jersey, Alderney and Guernsey 
cows is fought with heat by various breeders, 
but any of them fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
will gain a quick advantage both in quantity of 
milk and butter, over all other breeds not fed on 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. This has been tested. 
The characteristics of these cattle are too well 
known to need rehearsal in this place. 

A RELIABLE MILK PRODUCER. 

Dairymen use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener by 
the thousands of pounds and they say it cannot 
be equaled by any other article on the market. 
It increases the flow of milk in such a large 
quantity that they make big increase in profits. 

The largest dairies are often made up only of 
individual cows, and to be a success every cow 
should show a clean net profit. One unprofitable 
cow will take the profit of five paying cows. 
Every cow can be made a payer. If you will use 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener on her she will have 
to digest all she eats and turn it into milk.

Coin Cattle Fattener is manufactured for the 
special purpose of supplying to animals what na- 
ture gives them in pasture. Feed it to your milk 
cows — we guarantee it to increase your profit 15 
to 25 per cent — or your money refunded. Can

animals and people, need something once in a 
while for the stomach and to purify the blood — 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to bring 
you paying results. 

CALVES NEED CAREFUL FEEDING. 

Otherwise scours may set in — then weakness 
follows — the calf gets thin, and requires 2 or 3 
extra weeks of feeding — and you have lost just 
that much money. Start all your calves on Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener from birth (after the third 
day) and you will have no such trouble.

Guernsey Cow — 1st Prize, Minnesota State Fair. 

On many farms the Guernsey Cattle are displacing: the Jersey. It is a larger animal, and when 
its usefulness as a milker is passed will accordingly bring more weight when fattened. If youdfe 
a breeder of pure bred Guernseys or Grade Guernseys we can conscientiously advise you to begin 
the use of "Gold Coin Cattle Food" at once, it will surely make extra money for y®u m increasefcd

COW MONEY. 

Money comes from cows in greater quantities 
than most people think. But to make the most out 
of a cow she must be properly fed — and it is as 
easy to feed properly in these advanced days of 
science, when you can simply put a little concen- 
trated powdered food in an animal's feed and 
almost double your profits. The scientific food 
-here referred to is "Gold Coin Cattle Fattener." 
The easiest money comes from the cow in the 
form of milk. Second, in the form of butter and 
cheese made from the milk. Third, the veal from 
the calves raised from the cow each year, and 
-fourth, the fattening and sale of the cow herself 
when her usefulness as a milker is gone. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener does wonders in improving 
the milk^t keeps it free from disease and taint, 
its health-giving ingredients impart to the milk 
a vigorous strengthening quality which makes it 
excellent for people and especially children. Small 
children, like little calves, raised on Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener milk, gain in strength and vitality 
where they would fail on other milk. For this 
reason Gold Coin Cattle Fattener milk is in great 
demand in certain localities. Babies fed this milk 
gather strength and health, rosy cheeks and solid 
muscles — where on the other hand tainted, dis- 
eased, or tubercular milk might have injured their 
constitutions with sickness and sometimes even 
death following. Don't take such chances. Feed 
at, least one cow Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and 
get healthy milk for your own children so they 
will gather greater constitutional strength and 



COWS IN THE STALL GIVE AS GOOD AND 
AS MUCH MILK AS IN PASTURE. 

Feed your milch-cows Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener regularly three times a day according to 
directions — give them plenty o£ water to drink 
and your cows will surprise you, even when 
standing in the barn. Prove this to your own 
satisfaction by testing it on a certain number of 
cows. We guarantee it to bring you paying re- 
sults.

Hereford BalI-<xood Beef Type. 

The great pure bred Hereford Bull, Bean Donald 5th (86142), owned by O. Harris, Harris, 
Mo., won the first prize at the Minnesota State Fair, 1903. He is a beautiful and wpnderful animal; 
kind, gentle and yet grand and imposing as he moves his massive body with slow, measured steps. 
He is a great favorite with Mr. Harris. It is no wonder Mr. Harris is so proud of his Hereford 
herd. Mr. Harris feeds Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. If you want to make extra profits you should 
feed it too. 



HEREFORD CATTLE. 

In Judging Herefords the same scale of points 
is followed as that used in judging Short Horns. 
Their beef is of better quality than most breeds. 
In the West and Southwest, Herefords are fast 
becoming very popular. Their very gentle dispo- 
sition makes them easy to handle. Great herds 
are now grazing on the plains and in the moun- 
tain valleys where once the buffalo roamed. The 
Herefords and Short Horns raised in the W est 
are fast becoming an important feature in the 
great meat packing interests of Chicago, Kansas 
City and Omaha. In fattening your Herefords 
for the market don't neglect to use Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener, it will positively add from 10 to 
15 per cent to what the weight would otherwise 
be and easily 20 per cent to the actual investment 
considering the money value of the animal. 

In buying Herefords get a broad forehead, 
with wide set, mild large eyes, although the head 
should not be large; long, flat neck; broad, deep 
chest; flat, straight back, broad over the hips and 
shoulders and not too sloping; broad flat ribs; 
spreading horns; round, thick body; long, high 
tail; and of mild disposition. 

BEFORE CALVING TIME ALWAYS FEED 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. It prevents 
"slinking" of calves, thus often saving the life 
of a valuable cow, as well as the calf. It also 
cures scours, bladder and kidney diseases, bloody 
milk, pneumonia, and all cow diseases. Test it 
on our guarantee.

Pure Bred reford Cow, 

Iva 2nd (97455), owned by Mr. O. Harris, Harris, Mo., is a first prize winner at the Minne- 
sota State Fair, 1903. She is a most perfect type of the Hereford breed. None better can be found. 
Her round, well-filled loins shows where her value comes in as a beef animal. Herefords are dis- 
tinctly of the beef type. If you raise Herefords you will learn that extra money can be made out of 
them by the regular use of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. Mr. Harris uses it. Those wishing to buy 
pure bred Herefords will do well to correspond with Mr. Harris. His prices are right. 



YOUR BEEF YIELD. 

Every pound of beef on a cow or steer has to 
grow there through the natural laws of digestion 
of feed, and turning it into bone and flesh. The 
quicker you can do this, the tenderer the beef 
will be. That is why Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
fed cattle are always famous in their district. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener promotes digestion and 
makes fat. If cattle are fed a measureful of the 
fattener twice a day, along with the regular feed, 
the extra fat is distributed through the flesh, mak- 
ing it nice and tender and sweet. 

It has come to that point in fattening stock 
nowadays that the farmer who does not use a 
scientific fattener cannot compete with his intelli- 
gent neighbor who does. The people, the con- 
sumers, want scientifically fed beef. It tastes bet- 
ter. It is more tender. It is fattened quicker. 
And don't you see that quick fattening is what 
you want, yourself, Mr. Farmer? It saves you 
that feed. We guarantee Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener to fatten cattle in the shortest time and- 
make you an actual saving of 15 to 25 per cent in 
absolute increase in profit. We only ask you to 
test Gold Coin Cattle Fattener on its merit as a 
money maker for you. If it fails to bring you 
paying results, it won't cost you a penny. The 
price will be refunded. Isn't that the fairest prop- 



osition you ever had oflfered you? We know from 
our practical experience that Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener can and will increase your gain 15 to 
25 per cent if you will test it fairly. If you have 
never used it, write to us and give it a test on 
our guarantee. If you are a stock-raiser, you can- 
not afford to feed the old way, when wide-awake 
and live men are feeding on 15 to 25 per cent 
less expense and time than you are. 

THE QUICKER YOU FATTEN, THE TENDERER 
THE MEAT. 

Meat producers are always striving to grow 
and fatten in the shortest time possible, not only 
because it saves feed and labor, but be- 
cause the meat is so much more tender and 
sweet. Agricultural science is working along 
these lines. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener brings 
great results. The largest meat producers in 
the United States make the strongest claims for 
its wonderful fat producing power. Animals 
don't eat with any more forethought than people. 
Their digestion in ordinary condition, is rarely 
or never up to its highest standard. To get the 
best results in growth and fattening, all that is 
needed is perfect, thorough digestion. The 
healthiest animal puts on fat the easiest.

TEXAS CATTLE. 



In this country the Texas steer cuts a very 
large figure. Thousands upon thousands are an-

culty in recognizing the gaunt bodies; the wide, 
long, sharp horns; long muscular legs, and wild 
eyes. In color they are dun, yellow, and black 
with crosses, showing spots and mixtures of these 
colors with white.

tener will make them hardy and good breeders 
and make an investment in them a paying one 
that otherwise might be doubtful. They are a 
very excellent breed to own and will pay further 
breeding than they have, as yet, had.

cream. 



SELECTING^DAIRYiCOWS.

Rules : 

1. If large quantity of milk is wanted — suita- 
ble for making cheese, select the Holstein-Frie- 
sian breed. 

2. If large quantity of milk is wanted — suita- 
ble for making butter, select the Ayrshire cow.

tity, select the Jersey.

to each animal once a day and it is guaranteed to 
prevent diseases and through its power as a bone 
and flesh producer, makes growth to fatten in 
three-quarters the usual time. Write to us and 
find out about it. 

IT PREVENTS CONSUMPTION.

tion in people. It is from the start a wasting 
disease. Keep your cattle's stomach, bowels, 
liver and kidneys active, feed them regularly 
with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in their food and 
they won't have tuberculosis.

"CAN I AFFORD TO FEED IT?" 

It isn't a question whether you can aflford to 
feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, but it is a great 
question whether you can be a money making 
farmer and not feed it. Other wide awake 
farmers and stockmen are using it. ARE YOU 
SLOW? 

RAISING CALVES FOR MARKET. 

Then beware of scours. It causes the food to 
run through them undigested, giving them no 
nourishment, hence, but little fat and little 
weight. Put your calves on Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener, a half measureful for each calf, in milk. 
It sweetens the stomach, aids digestion, makes 
their food count, giving you large, sleek calves, 
with fine finish — money for you. 



MILK! MILK! MILK! 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener makes 
more milk because it increases the 
blood and turns the food that would otherwise 
pass through or become fat, into milk of a de- 
lightfully fresh and healthy quality. Feed it 
liberally to your milk cows if you want more 
milk. 

"GOLD COIN GERM KILLER." 

The strongest and safest disinfectant made. 
It is not only disinfectant but antiseptic, germi- 
cidal, and a good deodorizer and insecticide— kills 
all germs and insects. Costs only one cent a 
gallon — you need a good disease germ destroyer 
like this around your place all the time. It saves 
life and money. 

IT MAKES YOU MAKE MONEY.

clearing you a profit of from 15 to 25 per cent in 
the form of milk, butter, veal or beef. Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener is sold on a cash guarantee, to 
give you paying results all the time. 



COSTS LESS THAN HALF A CENT A DAY.

Pure Bred Red^Poll Bull. 

This magniflcent animal, Falstaff (8125), is the property of J. H. Crowder& Sons, Bethany, 111. He is a perfect type of 
the Red Poll breed. FalstafE was the 1st prize winner at th? Minnesota State Fair, 1903. and at the Fat Stock Show, Chi- 
cago, 1902. As general purpose cattle, these are an excellent type. Mr. Crowder feeds Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. Do you? 
I not, you should get in line at once and become an extia mmey malier, by the saving of feed and the increased fat and 
milk production. Try it. Any one desirous of investing in Red Polled Cattle should write Mr. Crowder. His cattle are 
worth the price asked. 



RED POLLED CATTLE. 

Take a Devon cow and dehorn it and if it hap- 
pens to be red you will have a very good picture 
of a Red Polled cow. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
works as good results in this breed as in Devons. 
The quality and quantity of milk is fair -in this 
breed, but on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, these 
cattle become some of the best paying dairy cat- 
tle we have. They are also valuable for beef and, 
indeed, it is a breed better, according to some, 
than any other for a general purpose animal, 
being valuable for both beef and dairy purposes. 
Under the use of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener Red 
Polled cattle mature much earlier than common. 
Thus you may judge of the actual profit such an 
advantage of time may give. The small amount 
of the cost of the Gold Coin Cattle Fattener could 
not possibly enter into consideration in figuring 
between marketing a herd now and a year from 
now. 

In buying Red Polled cattle you can never be 
misled. The lack of horns, the deep red color are 
sufficient marks by which you may know them. 
Feed your Red Polled cattle Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener. We guarantee it to save 15 to 25 per 
cent of the feed, and greatly increase your profits 
at the market. 

IT CURES SCOURS IN CALVES. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener quickly cures 
scours in calves and tones up the stomach. It 
makes sickly calves well — and healthy calves fat. 



HOW IT MAKES MOHEY FOR 
STOCKMEN. 

1. It makes milch-cows give 20 to 30 per cent 

more milk. 

2. It increases the fat in milk, which means 

cream — butter — money. 

3. If mixed in skim milk, makes calves grow 

amazingly. 

4. It keeps cattle and calves free from disease. 

5. It prevents disease taint in milk, cream or 

butter. 

6. It makes it a better and safer milk for 

people. 

7. It saves 30 to 60 days in time of fattening 

cattle. 

8. It saves 15 to 30 per cent of feed usually fed. 

9. It prevents consumption (tuberculosis). 

10. It prevents caked udder. 

11. It only costs you — 6 Feeds for a Cent. 

12. And we guarantee it to bring you paying 

results or your money refunded. 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is an ideal food for 
cattle of all kinds. 

IT DOUBLES THE MILK. 

If it only increases the flow of milk one to 
three quarts a day extra on each cow on twenty 
cows the milk made a great increase in your 
gains. Try it.

Pure Bred Short Horn Bull. 

The above picture of Pillivre Merry Lad (79564) shows all the good points of a first-class Short Horn bull. This excellent 
animal is the property of Judge D. B. Searle, St. Cloud. Minn. '-Lad" took the first prize at the Minnesota State Fair, 
1903. Judge Searle is a user of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. And we assure our readers that it is a most excellent thing for 
all cattle. It makes extra money for you. All who wish to invest in pure bred Short Horns can do no better than to 
correspond with Mr. Searle. His cattle are among the finest, and well worth the prices asked. 



SHORT HORN CATTLE. 

Properly speaking the term Short Horn be- 
longs alone to descendants of the Durham cattle. 
About the year 1780 these cattle were first brought 
to this country. They became famous first by 
the great exhibition of the "Durham Ox" from 
Durham County, North of England, in the valley 
of the Tees River. Nowadays the Short Horns 
are the best known of all breeds and are worthy of 
their fame, for they are great beef producers, and 
fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, they produce 
some of the finest beef ever eaten. Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener will add to the value of all Short 
Horns about the same per cent in money returns 
as in Hereford cattle. 

In buying Short Horn cattle it should be borne 
in mind that every animal whose horns are short 
is not necessarily a Short Horn. Remember a 
good Short Horn has a small head with tapering 
nose and clean, well spread nostrils; ears mod- 
erately large and inclined to pitch forward; the 
eye is large, liquid and intelligent or brigkt; the 
horns sharp and pointing forward, and down- 
ward, rather than upward. The whole animal 
should have a square set efifect, straight back, with 
strong, clean legs and wide, flat forearm, with a 
deep, full, round chest; belly line nearly parallel 
with the back; wide rounding flat ribs and be of 
red and white color. 

Short Horns mature early, often a year in ad- 
vance of native cattle, and drop well developed 
calves that can be marketed early for veal, or 
raised for "quick-fattened" beef, and in these par- 



ticulars are greatly favored by Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener. If you have Short Horns and desire to 
get still better results than you have ever ob- 
tained, you will make no mistake in giving them 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. Try it on a herd and 
compare results with previous herds fattened with- 
out Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. We guarantee it 
to save 15 to 25 per cent of the feed.

THE MILK-STRAIN 



A NEW FEATURE IN BREEDING THIS BEEF TYPE 

WITH THE IDEA OF MAKING IT A DUAL 

PURPOSE ANIMAL. 

Much success is to be hoped for along this 
line of breeding. In this age of high-priced meat, 
and high-priced butter, cheese and cream it can 
readily be seen that the "dual purpose cow" is the 
best for the general farmer. By the Milk-Strain 
Shorthorn is meant a class of Shorthorns, which 
by special selection, have been developed into 
good milkers. Thus making a cow that will sell 
at an excellent figure when her use as a milker is 
no longer needed. It is believed by the leading 
scientific breedters, and agricultural professors 
that the Milk-Strain Shorthorns make the most 
perfect "Dual Purpose Cow." If you are attempt- 
ing anything along this line, that is if you are 
trying to make some of your beef cattle become 
milkers as well, don't fail to make liberal use of 
Gold Coin Cattle Food, it will increase the pro- 
duction of milk if anything in the world will. 



You can't make money by sitting down and 
letting nature take its course — you have to 
scheme and plan — save 15 to 25 per cent in feed 
and 2 to 3 months' time on hogs and calves and a 
year on a steer. That's the way rich farmers are 
making money out of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. 
We know its great money value and guarantee 
it to you. Write to us on our Spot Cash Guar- 
antee. 



SKINNY CALVES. 

There is often a calf that don't seem to do 
well. Feed it 2 measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener three times a day. It will soon be even 
with the rest. Feed it separately from the others 
for a short time. 

The cow you cannot get with calf should be 
put in condition quickly on Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener and sold for the highest price. 

Feeders rely on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
and feed it in large quantities to fatten very 
quickly and finish their cattle for market. 

Cattle fattened on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
"shrink" less in shipping. Their constitutions are 
stronger. 

Large raisers claim that the developing period 
is shortened a year to a year and a half by usmg 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. A nice lump in your 
pocketbook. 

The cow that lost her calf is not paying, and 
unless you do something for her she may do the 
same thing next year— read the article on "Slink- 
ing." Gold Medal Condition Powder is a sure 



Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is the farmer's best

Pure Bred Shorthorn Heifer — O-wned by Judge D. B. Searle, St. Cloud, Minn. 

Judge Searle's heifer shown in the picture above is a most beautiful specimen of the shorthorn breed. The Shorthorns 
are the beef type. The broad, round baclv g-ives extra weight in the loins, where the high priced meat lies. As can be seen 
from the above picture this heifer would be hard to match anywliere. and she proved an easy 1st prize winner at the Min- 
nesota State Fair 1903. Write Mr. Searle if you are in need of shorthorns. Judge Searle is using Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. 
If you, reader, are a breeder of pure bred or grade Shorthorn cattle, and have never used Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, write 
us at once and get in line for bigger profits. 

commence to fatten as yoimg as possible and get 
them fattened, and at full growth as quickly as 
possible and it will mean a great saving of giain, 
a year and a half of work and risk, and quickef 
turning of your money. 

This crowding and rapid development has of 
late years become very common in hog raising* 
and has practically revolutionized hog marketing. 
Fine bi<? 300-pound hogs are being sent to market 
in six to eight months. 

The same plan can be successfully followed 
out with cattle and Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is 
the key to the method. Every farmer and stock- 
man knows that a great deal of the food passes 
through an animal undigested without doing them 
any good. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener prevents 
this, it digests all the waste and turns it into fat 
or milk. 

As you must readily understand crowding cat- 
tle on this method requires them to have perfect 
digestion and a&similation so that the feed they 
eat will turn into fat and muscle. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is made for this 
particular purpose, it not only improves digestion, 
keeping the stomach, bowels and liver regular, 
but it purifies the blood, clears the water and 
keeps the animal always at the highest possible 
standard of health. 

It keeps the steers hungry all the time so that 
everything they eat goes to fat and flesh. The 
increased appetite also makes them eat up all the 
rough fodder a good deal cleaner and even hunt 
up the waste food and eat it. Thus every pound 
of food you give them is eaten without waste, and 
YOU are the gainer. 

There is nothing like Gold Coin Cattle Fat-

CATTLE FATTENING. 

QUICK FATTENING BRINGS THE MOST MONEY. 

You are not raising cattle for your health — 
you are in it for business, and you should try to 
make as much money as you can. We want to see 
you make extra money and we are sure you will 
if you use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener on the cat- 
tle you are preparing for market. 

The English stockmen, and a few up-to-date 
stockmen in this country are doing "quick fatten- 
ing" and thereby doubling their profits. You can 
do the same, now that you know about Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener, and double your profits, too. 

These successful men begin the fattening of 
their cattle from calves up. They make liberal 
use of medicated Cattle Fattener, Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener being considered the best and cheap- 
est. They feed it in winter as well as summer so 
as not to let the growth stop, and in 18 months 
they have steers ready for market weighing 1200 
to 1400 pounds with sweet, tender beef; delicious 
in flavor and texture, commanding the top price 
of the market. But most important of all they 
have made a handsome profit because they have 
saved 18 months of feeding and have satisfied the 
butcher just as well as if they had fed the steer 
three years. Most stockmen take three years to 
prepare a steer for market, and the last year of 
feeding costs more than any preceding year be- 
cause young animals convert food into flesh and 
fat quicker than older ones. Everyone knows 
that the younger an animal is the easier it is to 
fatten and the older it is the more expensive it is 
to fatten. Therefore take heed of this fact and

those cheap foods. In buying a food for the pur- 
pose of aiding in the fattening of your cattle or

GREAT WEALTH PRODUCED BY CATTLE. 

Cattle are one of the greatest resources of 
wealth in the world. They produce our beef, 
veal, milk, cream, butter, cheese, tallowy, leather, 
glue, bone arid several kinds of medicine. Every 
part of the body is utilized to-day by the great 
packing houses. Millions of pounds of beef are 
exported annually. Scientific feeding has done 
wonders in this great industry. The period of 
growing and' fattening is greatly shortened, the 
beef is therefore of the best quality, and the cat- 
tle raiser not only has the feed saved, but gets 
better prices for his better quality of beef. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener makes scientific feeding pos- 
sible for every farmer, whether he has 1 or 1,000 
head. Cattle raising and fattening has come to 
that point nowadays where the man who does not 
use something to aid in quick fattening and sav- 
ing of feed, cannot compete with his neighbor 
who does. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener makes the 
cattle digest all they eat and turn it into beef and 
fat (milk). It is guaranteed by the Gold Coin 
Stockfood Co. to be the most scientific, fat- 
tener on the market. It is guaranteed 
to contain no injurious drugs. It prevents disease 
and stimulates growth and fat production. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to be a money 
maker for every farmer and stock raiser. You 
ought to use it. Test it on our Spot Cash Guar- 
antee. Write to us. Thousands of farmers claim 
it makes them 50 per cent more clear profit 
yearly. 

Diseases always seem to attack the highest 
grade animal, changing her from a paying into 
a losing one. The question is, how to pet her 
back to the large flow of rich milk she used to 
give. Build up her constitution and tone up her 
digestion with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, the 
great milk producer.

A Prize Car-Load of Grade GalloT*-ay Cattle. 



GRADE CATTLE. 

There is big money to be made from grade 
cattle just as well as pure bred stock. The trick 
is in the feeding. If you will feed in such a way 
as to waste no grain or feed by indigestion, keep 
the animals healthy and in a growing condition all 
the time, and unload as soon as your animals have 
reached that period of development where feed 
does not develop or fatten them any more, you 
are bound to make a nice little profit every year. 

Every farmer who raises grades really ought 
to have a pure bred bull at the head of his herd. 
It will certainly improve the stock, and be a 
source of profit to him. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
is an excellent thing for grades, it causes much 
better bone and muscle development. If yOu 
are a breeder of grades we advise you to try it. 
It will certainly make extra money for you. 

COW'S VALUE $35, $60 TO $100. 

A cow that only produces 100 pounds of but- 
ter a year is not worth keeping as a milker. A 
cow thac produces 200 pounds of butter a year is 
worth about $35. One that produces 300 pounds 
a year is worth $60, and one that produces 400 
pounds a year is worth $100 and more. If the 
cows that produce 200 to 300 pounds a year are 
a good beef breed and produce a good beef steer 
every year, their value is greater than mentioned 
above. Any cow's milk and beef value can be 
increased by Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. This 
is no idle claim. We guarantee it. We want you 
to test it. If it fails to be a money maker on your 
farm, the price will be refunded. Write to us. 



GOLD COIN CATTLE FATTENER 

Fattens Cattle. 

Increasing their weight — and your profits. 

Not only is milk, butter and beef increased by 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, but all are improved, 
the milk is richer, the butter has a fine flavor, and 
the beef of Gold Coin Fattened Cattle often com- 
mands a premium on the market. 



FORCE YCUR STEER'S GROWTH. 

The best and most desirable steer is the one 
whose growth has been forced from the day of 
birth. It gets full size a year and a half earlier 
(a year and a half's feed saved for you) and is 
heavier — the small cost of feeding Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener and forcing their growth is paid for 
100 times over. This is the method pursued by 
all big cattle men. You must do it if you want to 
compete with them. Why shouldn't you make 
more money as well as they? Write to us.

lener for "evening up" animals, it makes them 
plump, fat and sleek. "Finish" counts a great deal 
to the buyer. Visit our stock yards in the large 
cities and see how quickly the cattle of fine "fin- 
ish" are snapped up even though buyers have to 
pay a little extra for them. 

A great many stock raisers in this country let 
their calves stop growing in the winter. This is 
always a mistake, because an animal that has once 
stopped growing (even for only thirty days) is 
never as good as one that has been kept growing. 
It will pay any feeder to feed Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener in skim milk with a grain food, as corn 
meal and oatmeal and bran to his calves twice 
or three times a day all winter, as it will keep 
them growing even in the severest winter and 
will readily double your profits. 

As a wide-awaker money-making stockman or 
farmer you can easily see from what has been 
said above that the proper way to fatten so as to 
make the quickest and most money is to: Begin 
to feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener to your calves 
and crowd it on them for almost eighteen months, 
thus getting to market a year and a half earlier 
than your neighbor who takes three years' time 
to fatten. 

No farmer or stockman can afford to feed a 
single day without including Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener in the feed. It either fattens, or in- 
creases milk every time you give it. You can't 
feed it to animals regularly without its making 
you an incr£ase of from 15 to 25 per cent profit in 
some way. 

We want you to make a test of this wonderful 
food for yourself either on two different lots of 
cattle or on your whole herd and watch the dif- 
ference. 

We know what the food will do and are willing 
to guarantee that it will bring you paying results. 
And besides it will save you 15 to 25 per cent of 
feed, which in itself makes a handsome saving 
in a year. In offering you Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener we, hand you an article with which you can 



make extra money without extra work. It is in 
the form of a fine powder which you mix in the 
regular feed. All cattle like it. They will lick 
it all up clean. It sharpens their appetite and 
keeps them hungry all the time, thus nothing 
goes to waste, and everything they eat rapidly

as fat as butter. Test it yourself on our Spot 
Cash Guarantee. Your money refunded if it fails

can. It saves you feed and makes more desirable 
meat. Fattening can be done in three-quarters 
the time and at a saving of 15 to 25 per cent by 
using the scientific Gold Coin Cattle or Hog 
Fattener.

milk, Gold Coin Cattle Fattener thus mixed in 
skim milk will fatten calves just as good as

All stock men know that steers grow faster, 
and lay on fat easier the first two years. Steers 
you raise from three to four years don't bring you 
nearly as much prciit because their feeding costs 
you too much. Begin feeding Gold Coin Cattle

growth in 18 months — that means big money to 
you.

cow or 500 cows you can't afford to miss using

profit than if you took three years to raise him?

Fattener puts the organs of digestion in such 



shape that every pound of fodder and grain they 
eat is distributed to the best advantage.

quicker than horses. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener

KillingrCattle at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, U. S. A. 

The animal is first pulled up Ey one hind leg, the throat is then cut, the animal is shoved onto 
another platform, dressed, and in a few minutes the "skinner" has the hide off and the beef is elevated 
and carried away on trollies ready for the refrig rator. Many thousands of cattle are killed each day. 
The "cutters," the men who cut the throats, literally "wade" in blood. 



HORNED CATTLE PRODUCTS 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener lias become the 
main reliance of hundreds of livestock men in 
raising the standards of produce in their herds.- 
Keeping in view the state of the market, the 
quicker any given animal intended for beef gets 
to market, the greater the profit. There is no 
special time of the year for marketing beef cattle, 
they are always in demand, and while the' market 
fluctuates, and at times very widely, the demand 
for good beef cattle is always satisfactory. From 
the time a calf is dropped until ready for market, 
it consumes a stated amount of nourishment, and 
the older it gets the greater becomes the cost of 
its keep. Therefore, other things being equal, 
you should get your stock to market at the very 
first moment it is in the proper condition. Every 
day's cost of feeding after that reduces your profit 
by more than the cost of the feed. 

Gold Coin. Cattle Fattener puts into the hands 
of the breeder an instrument that will increase 
the per cent of his profits from one quarter to 
one half. It acts safely and surely and if fed from 
three days old to selling time, it brings the calves 
into prime marketing condition in from sixty to 



ninety days ahead of the usual time required, and 
mature cattle 18 months sooner than the old 
method. This is a fact. Test it on our guarantee. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is not a mere fat- 
tener, though it does this to perfection, but it also 
stimulates bone growth, thus enlarging the frame; 
it keeps the digestive tract cool and free from 
fever so that it digests thoroughly, even the most 
unpromising foods; it makes the animal full blood- 
ed and lays on muscle or flesh very freely. Any 
animal raised on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener will 
show to the utmost those desirable Qualities of 
mixed lean and fat which add to the appearance of 
the beef and nlease the consumer. The dealers are 
on the watch for Gold Coin Cattle Fattened cattle, 
for they recognize to the full the higher market 
value of this kind of beef. 

As already remarked. Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener increases the blood volume. To this fact 
is due its great value to dairy men. The milk of a 
milk cow is made from the blood, therefore, any- 
thing that will increase the blood volume will in- 
crease the flow of milk. Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener is doing this for thousands of dairymen all 
over the country.

EXTRA MONEY FOR DAIRYMEN. 

If a dairyman can feed his cows a new scien- 
ific food that will increase the quantity and quality 
of milk, at a small cost he is making extra money, 
is he not? That Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is 
such a scientific food has been proven and tested 
over and over again. It will increase the flow 
and richness of milk in any cow it is fed to. It 
often doubles and has tripled the flow from cows 
run-down on milk. To hear of a cow giving from 
one to five quarts of milk a day extra from the use 
of half a cent's worth of feed is common. As 
you can readily see this is a nice little profit over 
and above the amount of feed used. We want to 
see YOU use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and make 
that extra money — are you ready to try it? No 
dairy man can afford to be without this "special 
food" at all seasons of the year. It brings you 15 
to 25 per cent extra profits every time you feed it. 
Take a cow in the best of condition, receiving the 
best of care and feeding Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener may not make as much of a showing in 
the quantity of the milk as in the richness of it. 
We guarantee a corresponding increase of butter 
fats — which is extra money to the dairy man just 
the same. It keeps the cows free from disease and 
removes all taint from the milk, cream or butter. 
It increases the flow of milk on the average of 20 
to 30 per cent, makes the milk more healthful for 
commercial purposes and keeps the cows perfectly 
healthy. Make a practical test of your own by 
separating six cows from the others, put them all 
on the same conditions and feed, except that the 
first six get a measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener three times a day, and if the first six do not 
show paying results over the others in increased 
flow of milk and richness in butter fats we will 
promptly refund your money. Gold Coin Cattle

cinal food ever prepared for dairy feeding. There

A Bunch of 



CALVES 



ALMOST PURE MONEY. 

You can make much larger profits from your 
calves by the regular use of Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener in their milk. Skim milk alone is very poor 
feed to get good growth frdm. You should always 
put Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in it. Some farm- 
ers try to raise calves on skim milk but it doesn't 
pay- — such calves are subject to indigestion, 
scours, lack weight, and are slow in fattening for 
market. Take a half measureful of Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener for each calf and mix it with 
ground corn, oats and bran scalded in hot water 
and then add sufficient skim milk and you have 
a food that is equal to or better than fresh milk, 
and which will make your calves grow so fast as 
to astonish you. It costs but very little and gives 
you fine large calves, weighing more, and ready 
for the market long before the others. It makes 
young calves grow rapidly, giving large muscles 
and large bone-frames, which gives good weight if 
you sell for veal. If you find that creamery skim 
milk causes scours or indigestion don't neglect to 
mix in it a half measureful of Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener and some ground grain, as corn meal, 
bran, oatmeal, etc. It will quickly cure scours. But 
what is better, your calves won't have scours at all 
if you feed it regularly from the third or fourth 
day of age. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is a re- 
markable calf grower and fattener. And a trial 
of the "Fattener" on your calves will quickly dem- 
onstrate to you how much more profit can be 
made by the use of this scientific food, over the 
old way of feeding. It absolutely prevents skin 
diseases, scours, weakness, indigestion, keeps

their skin and hair sleek and fine and in every way 
improves the animal. It is worth its weight in 
gold. In feeding Gold Coin Cattle Fattener to 
calves, always mix it with milk and grain. This is 
the cheapest calf food sold anywhere and has no 
equal. It keeps calves growing all winter. Give 
proper care and attention to shelter. We want to 
see you make extra money on your calves this 
season, and we are sure you will if you use Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener faithfully as directed for 
calves. Write us direct and test it on our SPOT

SCOURS. 

Scours is common in calves if improperly or 
carelessly fed. It is an acute attack of indiges- 
tion. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener prevents and 
cures scours, and quickly puts the stomach, 
bowels, liver and kidneys in a healthy condition. 
Don't let your calves get scours, it sets them 
back and costs you extra money. After the third 
day begin the use of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
in half measureful doses twice a day and they 
won't get scours. Try it.

tener" in the regular feed for your cattle, and it

A Herd of American Buffalo. (The Animal at the Extreme Right Is a Half Buffalo.) 

This herd of Bufifalo (23 in the herd) belongs to Mr. J. J. Hill. They are kept on his farm 
near St. Paul, Minn. The "Ian of crossing them with Galloway cattle has been tried, and the 
bunch of BufTalo-Galloway anomalies seen on the next page shows that the experiment has proven 
successful. It is done with no special reason, other than to help preserve, at least, a strain of the 
blood of our noble American Buffalo, which is rapidly becoming extinct. The young Buffalo-Gal- 
loway crosses are very interesting creatures to look at. Their coats are long and shaggy, jet 
black in color and making a fine fur. While they retain the mental and cutaneous f&atures of the 
Buffalo they resemble their Galloway mother more in conformation. 



IT KEEPS CALVES FREE FROM SCOURS. 

Feed it in skim milk (a half measureful to 
each calf) for the first week. After that use a 
full measure in a mixture of skim milk, shorts 
and full measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener. Try that on your calves — they will come 
out wondei-fully sleek and finished, and sell for 
a good profit. The feed has cost you nothing 
and you have saved your cream. 

YOU RUN NO RISK.

anteed to give you paying results or money re- 
funded. Most stockmen say it brings them 25

No farmer or stockman can afford to feed a 
single day without including Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener in the feed. It either fattens, or in- 
creases milk every time you give it. You can't 
feed it to an animal regularly without making 
you an increase of from 15 to 25 per cent profit in 
some way. 

We want you to make a test of this wonderful 
food for yourself either on two different lots of 
cattle or on your whole herd and watch the dif- 
ference.

tener for "evening up" animals, it makes them

ish" are snapped up even though they have to pay 
a little extra for them.

Some of these crosses have horns, and others do not. The central figure is a good illustra- 
tion of those with horns. The attitude he has taken, one foreleg raised, is very charactertistic of 
the Buffalo. They also inherit the trait of bunching together like the Buffalo, and possess the 
same dull, listless expression of the face. 



FACTS ABOUT FEEDING "GOLD 
COIN FATTENING FOODS." 

If you will compare the number of feeds per 
pound, you will see that our food goes father than 
any other food on the market. 

ITS SUPERIOR MEDICINAL VALUE 

makes it a food that need not be fed in large 
doses. A small dose scalded or made wet and 
mixed- with the regular feed is all that is needed. 
It does the work and that is what you want. You 
cannot afford to buy cheap foods that have to be 
given by the scoop-shovel. No results can be ob- 
tained by cheap stock foods, because thej'^ don't 
contain the proper ingredients. The tonic effect 
of Gold Coin Fattening Food aids digestion and 
assimilation turns food into blood, keeps the 
water clear, strengthens the kidneys and liver, so 
that every grain eaten will give the animal the 
most possible nutrition. Gold Coin Food is the 
blood, bone and flesh builder. It is sold only on 
Cash Guarantee, and we agree to refund your 
money in every instance if paying results are not 
obtained. Gold Coin Foods have the largest sales 
in the world today, and are increasing every year.

ENDORSED BY ENGLISH COACHMAN AND 
HORSE BREEDER. 

GOLD COIN STOCKFOOD CO., 
Chicago, 111. 

Gentlemen: I have used your Horse Tonic 
with great success on four coach horses which I 
have in charge. The horses always go after their 
oats better when the "Horse Tonic" is in it. 
There is something in it which the horses like 
and which gives them much better energy and 
speed. One horse, which never had a good coat, 
is now becoming glossy and shiny, and is im- 
proving in every way. I notice in the droppings 
that the horses digest their oats and other feed 
better when given Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 

I have had charge of horses for such famous 
horse firms as the Pabst Stock Farm and the Hey- 
land Stock Farm, where Russian and German 
coach horses and trotting-bred stock were a spe- 
cialty, and can say from experience that Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic is far ahead of any stock food I 
have ever tried. 

Enclosed find order for another one hundred 
pounds (100 lbs.), and please ship it promptly as 
I am nearly out. I am a firm believer in good 
stack foods and am satisfied that coach and trot- 
ting horses are benefited by it, as well as working 
or farm horses.

CATTLE DISEASES. 



ABORTION (SLINKING.) 

The cow is almost the only animal that has, 
to give milk during the wearing period of preg- 
nancy (carrying the young). She has not only 
to give milk for the profit of her owner, but she 
has to supply nourishment to her unborn calf. 
What an immense amount of work is put upon 
the cow's digestive organs. Many cows are not 
able to stand this strain unaided. Thus, it will 
be seen that the cow needs a specially prepared 
medicinal food to fit her peculiar case; something 
that will cure all stomach disorders, give strength 
to the unborn calf and prepare the organs for 
the coming strain of calving and heavy milking. 
This is what Gold Coin Cattle Fattener does. 
It promotes digestion and formation of fat. 

As soon as a cow is with calf, the stomach 
takes on increased sensitiveness and is easily af- 
fected by foul odors. It is claimed that cows 
which are with calf in the same stable with the 
slinking cow, smell its discharge and sometimes 
they all abort or slink. 

We and many other veterinarians and agri- 
cultural scientists believe it is due to a germ, 
but whatever the cause may be, it matters little 
so long as a positive cure is known. 

If this trouble is already in your herd, you 
should at once feed two measurefuls of Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener twice a day to all that 
have aborted — the aborting or slinking usually 
happens at about 7 months, but even in cases 
where it has happened as early as 5 months. Gold" 
Coin Cattle Fattener has brought the animal up 
to a large yield of milk, besides putting her in the 
right condition to prevent slink next year. If 
your cows are suject to slinking, Gold Coin Cat- 

GOLD COIN CATTLE FATTENER 

The Dairyman's Friend. 
Makes the milk rich, and more of it. 



tie Fattener will save you hundreds of dollars., 
A cow that slinks is worth less than half price- 
Cows that slink once are likely to slink again, 
if this is not cured. 

It is as foolish to condemn and sacrifice a 
good cow because she has lost a calf, as it would" 
be to throw away a watch because it stopped. The 
cow must be cured and built up again. Feed 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, two measurefuls twice 
a day until she is in good condition, then feed 
her one measureful twice a day. All cows should 
be given Gold Coin Cattle Fattener twice a day. 
It aids digestion and increases the flow of milk. 
The milk is richer and the cow is kept in better 
condition for calving. Many dairymen claim 
that Gold Coin Cattle Fattener fed twice a day 
all the year around almost doubles the yield of 
milk. Write to us and test it yourself. 



BARRENNESS v^ --..lure to breed). 

The best cow ia the world is worth only hen 
price in beef if she will not breed. Barrenness 
is usually due to inflammation around the mouth 
of the womb. This may cause unnatural "heat" 
and will take the bull any time. Or it may be that 
she will not come in "heat?" Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener contains three ingredients which ac^ 
directly on the procreative organ. It is foolish to 
waste time on a barren cow. Feed her Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener regularly two measurefuls twice 
a day. If this does not cure her in a reasonable 
time the trouble is probably due to deformity of" 
the internal organs. In that case you had better 
feed her Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in large doses 
and get her as fat as possible and sell her for beef^

CATTLE diseases-Continued. 



''EVERY FARMER SHOULD KNOW 
RETAINED AFTER BIRTH (FAILURE TO 
"CLEAN"). 

Slinking and failure to "clean" all come from 

' the same cause, that is, the weakness of the womb 

* and internal organs. 

Never resort to the inhuman method of tying 
a weight to the exposed portion of the after 
birth. Feed the cow 4 measurefuls of Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener three times a day. The cow 
should have been fed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 

iifiall along before calving and this trouble would 
not have happened. It gets the female organs in 
perfect working order for calving. Her health 
is better and she is well prepared to start out on 

*her milking season. We guarantee that it will 
pay you to use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in 
your whole herd all the year around. Use it for 
fattening your calves, steers and to make your 
cows give more milk and richer. You test it. 

' j.If it fails, the price will be refunded. 

MILK FEVER. 

This terrible disease usually only comes after 
a cow has had 3 or 4 calves, and when it is full 
grown and becomes a great milker. If any of 
your cows have this dangerous trouble feed three 
measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener three 
times a day^ Always feed your cattle the Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener jregularly and it will pre- 
vent this trouble at calving time. Gold Coin Cat- 

- tie Fattener costs so little, and besides is guaran- 
teed to bring paying results, that every farmer 
and dairyman should feed it with the regular diet 
twice a day. It will increase the flow of milk 

■' and the richness of it. Test it yourself on our 
Spot Cash Guarantee. 

CAKED BAG OR UDDER. 

Never use plugs or tubes, they are dangerous 
and harmful, and they never cure the disease. 
Do not give up a good cow — it is always a good 
cow that has these troubles — until you have tried 
our method. In no disease does Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener act with such perfect satisfaction. 
Give three measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 

._tener in soft feed three times a day and apply 
Gold Coin Cattle Healing Oil twice a day. The 
hard bunches will gradually soften and disappear. 
It pays to use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener all the 
year around and prevent all these diseases. Re- 
^member any disease is a setback to a good 

' milker. Not only will disease be prevented but 
your milk yield will be greater and richer if your 
cows get Gold Coin Cattle Fattener regularly in 
their feed. It will increase your profits in beef, 
milk and butter 15 to 25 per cent. Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to bring you pay- 

_ ing results. You can test it on our Cash Guar- 
antee. 

SCOURING COWS. 

When this annoying trouble attacks your milk 
. cows it causes great loss of milk. If it is not 
checked the cows lose flesh and strength until 
they are hardly able to stand alone. This is very 
dangerous, as disease germs find easy access into 
' the system. It is the forerunner of tuberculosis 
(consumption).

HOW TO CURE HIS OWN STOCK." 

A change for the better will soon be noticed 
if you will feed three measurefuls of the Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener three times a day. Mix 
it up with grain feed. See that the cows have 
clean water. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener not only 
brings a sure cure, but it leaves the cow^ in good 
condition. Use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener regu- 
larly. Your milk yield will be increased and 
richer. It is guaranteed to bring you paying 
results. Use it yourself, on our Spot Cash Guar- 
antee. The profit it wins will be yours; if it 
fails we stand the loss. 

SCOURS IN CALVES. 

Scouring is the worst thing about raising 
calves. They would not scour if their digestive 
organs were rieht. Remember it is what they 
digest, not what they eat, that makes bone, muscle 
and fat. Calves with scours cannot grow fast 
and develop strong internal organs for future 
milk production. If the trouble is neglected or 
checked by wrong methods you can be sure that 
calf will never make a perfect dairy cow. From 
the day they are born, calves should be fed a half 
measureful of Cattle Fattener twice a day in their 
milk, and when they are two weeks old, give them 
a measureful of the Fattener twice a day. The 
growth of these calves will astonish you. Their 
perfect digestion makes them grow almost twice 
as fast and their good health mates them sleek 
and pretty as a picture. The quick growing and 
easy fattening that can be done by the aid of 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener makes veal raising 
very profitable. Write us and use Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener as your calver. Test it on our Cash 
Guarantee. 

CONSUMPTION (TUBERCULOSIS). 

Consumption is more common in cattle than 
in any other animals. Consumption in cows, just 
as in people, is due to the consumption germ. 
There is low fever, scours, falling off in flesh and 
more or less cough. Every living creature 
breathes into its lungs, with every breath, thous- 
ands of these germs, and yet most escape this 
disease. The reason is simple enough. The con- 
sumption germ can only live when it gets into 
a body that is too weak and run down to resist' 
its growth. Many a cow is killed because she is 
simply run down. The case is not consumption 
at all, or only in the first curable stage. In the ad- 
vanced stage consumption cannot be cured and 
you are running a great risk in using the milk. 
As the prevention of consumption depends on 
good health and strength to resist the germs, 
this dread disease is easy to prevent. Keep the 
digestive system in good condition with Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener. Feed all run down cattle 
2 measurefuls three times a day with their grain 
and soft feeds. It will build them up wonderfully 
and quickly. IT KEEPS CATTLE HEALTHY. 

TEXAS FEVER OR SPLENIC FEVER. 

It is due to a germ which enters the blood and 
breaks up the red corpuscles. In this it resembles 
malaria in people. The disease originates in the 
low lands of Mexico and Texas. It is contagious 
and very dangerous. It is brought into a com-

DYSPEPSIA, OR OFF FEED. 

The digestive organs of a good milker are 
worked to their utmost every day and night. No 
wonder good milkers often get "ofif-feed" unless 
they have some aid to their digestion. Give the 
cows that are "off-feed" three measurefuls twice a 
day of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener until well again.

enough. In fattening your profit lies in saving 
feed. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener will save you 
15 to 25 per cent. Remember it is what your cows

it on our Spot Cash Guarantee. Write to us, all 
we ask is a fair and honest trial. 

CATARRH OR BRONCHITIS. 

Catarrhal conditions equally indicate a weak- 
ened state of the system. One animal in good 
health can stand exposure better than a weak and 
run down cow. Give the sick ones warm shelter 
and give them two measurefuls of Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener in hot ground feed three times a day.

every day and thej^ will have stronger constitu- 
tions, better health, and so they will give more

whole herd. There is fever, shivering, the hair 
rough and back arched. Breathing is short and 
quick. Pain to pressure over the lungs. If you^_ 
are not arranged so you can place the_ sick ones 
in a separate barn you had better kill them and 
burn their carcasses. Clean out the cow stable

floors with Uold Coin Germ Killer 4 tablespoon- _

people, and therefore, cattle must be handled 
with care. The blood turns black, and will not » 
coagulate, thicken. Take the sick cattle out of 
the stable and clean it out thoroughly, then dis- 
infect the managers, walls and floor with Gold, 
Coin Germ Killer. 4 tablespoonfuls to the bucket 
of water. Leave the well cows in the pasture only 
a half a day and give hay and straw. Give them 
all 2 measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener

pure water they want to drink. Keep the quar- 
ters in which you keep the sick cows thoroughly "i 
disinfected with Gold Coin Germ Killer, 4 table- 
spoonfuls to the bucket of water.

strength and keep the blood clean. If you

The Famous Fattener. 

Lays on heavy fat and flesh. 



MONEY! MONEY!! MONEY!!! 

A good little bunch of money is in store for 
you, if you can quickly and cheaply pile on 75 to 
100 pounds of extra fat to each of your cattle 
just before going to market. The buyers pay 
just as much for fat as for lean, and this extra 
fat has cost you almost nothing to put on. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener is prepared especiallv for 
that purpose. It prevents every possible waste, 
and uses up every kernel of grain they eat, allow- 
ing no waste or undigested food to pass away in 
the offal. The digestion in the stomach and 
bowels is so stimulated and increased that every- 
thing is digested and turned into fat, and it gives 
a good finish to cattle, which is always attractive 
to buyers. If you have never used Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener, write to us and get a package 
or pail and test it on our guarantee.

more milk you will get and the richer it will be.

larger crop. The cows' milk organs can manu- 
facture milk just according to how much ma- 
terial they can take care of. Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener aids the digestion and enables the cow

with ease. It is the greatest milk producer ever 
discovered. Many dairymen claim that it increases 
their profits 50 per cent and more. Everybody

The Fat Steer, as the Butcher Looks at Him. 

The above outline shows the true beef type. Notice how well the back muscles are developed — there is 
where the high-priced meat lies. The high-priced sections alone bring — prime ribs of beef, 96 lbs. at 
h^c.=$14.40; and 70 lbs. of porterhouse steak at 20c.= $14.00; and 92 lbs. of sirloin steak at 15c.=|13.80. 
Thus the high-priced meats alone amount to $42.20. 



BULLS. 



You can make your bulls make you more 
money. A bull fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
during the breeding season will sire more and 
^stronger calves. You should keep him particu- 
larly strong and vigorous during this critical time, 
and he will hand down to his calves stronger and 
more vigorous constitutions. If you once try it 
you will never again neglect to feed it to him any 
following season. If the bull and cow are both 
at the highest standard of health the calf 
"dropped" will naturally be larger, stronger and 
better than one born of parents not so healthy. 
The very best animals are those who have been 
well fed before they were born. Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener fed to both the bull and cow at this 
particular time will show to great advantage when 
calving time comes. Try it on our CASH GUAR- 
ANTEE. 

LICE, TICKS. 

Lice on cattle can be quickly removed by 
Gold Coin Germ Killer. Mix 4 tablespoonfuls 
with a bucket of water. Sprinkle all over the 
cow and then take a brush and rub the solution 
down to the skin over the back-bone from head 
to tail. Clean out the barn thoroughly and dis- 
infect the mangers, stalls, walls and floors with 
the above solution. Do this every evening until 
the cattle are clean from lice. 



GET WELL ANYWAY. 

Some one who thinks he knows all will say, 
"they will get well anyway." It may be, but it 
takes weeks to accomplish what Gold Coin Cat- 
tle Fattener can do in a day. Remember, Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener only costs about "6 Feeds 
for a Cent." Now if you count up the feed and 
loss of milk of a sick cow for 1 to 6 weeks which 
will cost the most? But not only will disease 
be prevented, you will make 15 to 25 per cent 
•more money out of your cattle. Write to us 
and use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, and if it fails 
to bring you paying results, the price will be re- 
funded. You cannot ask a fairer offer. We can 
easily guarantee 15 to 25 per cent gain when 
thousands of dairymen claim it saves 50 per cent 
and more. Now you use and test it on our Spot 
Cash Guarantee. 

PLETHORA.

due to improper and unnatural feeding, such as 
oil meal and the other artificial "foods." Give

tener will not only fatten, but it makes good

Merino Ram — ^First Prize "Winner. 



AMERICAN MERINO SHEEP. 

The American Merino sheep come from the 
Spanish Paulers. The looseness of the skin 
readily distinguishes them from other breeds. 
The fine Merino wool is about one-third the 
length of other wool. The American Merino 
Shefep are large size and are considered the best 
fine wooled sheep in the world. The Merino 
sheep make fine progress when fed Gold Coin 
Fattener. It strengthens the constitution, and 
almost wonderful reports have been made to us 
of increased length of wool, which is very de- 
sirable. 

(Description of Breeds continued on next page.) 

WASHING. 

Sheep raisers differ as to the practical value 
of washing sheep before shearing. Some claim 
that it is dangerous to wash sheep and that they 
are very likely to get their wool dirty anyway 
before it gets sheared off. 

SHEARING. 

Shearing should be done right. The wool 
should be sheared even and close, but not so 
close as to leave the skin naked and red. It pays 
to hire an expert shearer to do your shearing, as 
one who does not understand it will do your 
sheep more harm than the little extra expense of 
hiring the expert. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener purifies the blood 
and makes the constitution strong.

SOUTHDOWN SHEEP. 

The Southdown is the great mutton producer. 
They lead all breeds for mutton, but they are not 
equally good wool producers. Therefore, of 
late, the Southdown are being displaced in some 
locations by breeds which are more equal in 
wool and mutton. The Southdown fatten at an 
early age and the excellence of Southdown mut- 
ton is known the world over. 

Raisers of Southdowns should not fail to use 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and see the change 
•it produces in the mutton. With its use the 
Southdowns become almost as good wool pro- 
ducers as any other breed. 



LEICESTER SHEEP. 

An English breed, and with care make a very 
valuable flock on account of their excellent 
wool, which is very long and especially A^aluable 
for a combing wool. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
will improve their mutton and its efifects on the 
wool will be a -source of pleasure and increased 
profit to the owner,

You want to grow and fatten quickly to save 
high-priced corn. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
saves 15 to 25 per cent of feed and fattens in 
three-quarters the time. 



CARE OF LAMBS. 

Your la'mbs at birth are very delicate and 
must not be allowed to get chilled. If the ewes 
are fed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, once a day 
the milk will contain more nutrition and Fat 
(cream) and the lambs will grow very rapidly 
and have strong constitutions. The lambs should 
be castrated and docked between a week and 
two weeks old. 

Wean the lambs at three or four month old. 
At this time the lambs should be given some 
additional food. With their extra food mix about 
a half measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, 
once a day. Their rapid growth will astonish 
you. We guarantee this, because the Fattener 
aids the digestion of the food which their little 
stomachs are hardly able to do without some 
help. Any sheep-raiser can readily see for him- 
self that fine results must be- accomplished. The 
faster the lambs grow the quicker you are ready 
for market — which means better price, to say 
nothing of the 15 to 25 per cent of profits made 
in saving feed by the fattening in shorter time. 
We know the feed value of Gold Coin Fattener 
and urge every money-making farmer to use it 
on its merits as a rapid grower and fat producer. 
We offer a cash guarantee that it will be a money 
maker to you. Price refunded if it fails.

Oxford Sheep. 



OXFORD SHEEP. 



The Oxford down sheep is an English breed. 
They are not largely bred in this country. They 
have fine, long wool which averages about 10 to 
12 pounds. Oxford sheep breeders have reported 
excellent results from Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. 

NEW OXFORDSHIRE SHEEP. 

This breed is not largely bred in this country. 
They are' a cross between the Cotswold and New 
Leicester. They are not as hardy as the Cots- 
wold. Although when fed on Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener their constitutional strength is in- 
creased, which makes them better producers of 
,j30.th wool and mutton.

SHEEP FEEDING IN WINTER. 

The winter feeding is the great economic 
question in sheep raising. The expense of feed- 
ing during the long northern winters is high un- 
less done scientifically. Right here is where 
Gold Coin Cattle • Fattener can be fed at little 
cost and with enormous profits to the sheep 
raiser. It makes the sheep digest every particle 
of feed they get and put it into mutton and wool 
growth — no waste. It is supposed that the cold 
northern winter is favorable to excessive wool 
growth if the condition of the animals is kept 
good. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is sold on 
an absolute guarantee to keep animals in the 
highest state of health and growing condition 
and if it fails to bring increased profits, your 
money will be refunded. Our own experience 
with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener enables us 
to make this absolute guarantee. This Great 
Fattener is a medical food that contains the ele- 
ments made by nature which stimulate and create 
growth. This means abundance of mutton and 
wool. Remember, you are giving feed to get 
it converted into meat and wool. The feed is 
the great item of expense. Therefore, that is 
where a shrewd raiser will save 15 to 25 per cent 



by using the New Fattener. He is just that much 
ahead of his competitors who feed the old way. 
The sheep for fattening should be separated 
from the others and fed Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener two or even three times a day. The 
grain should be wet up and a measureful of the 
Fattener given for each sheep, three times a day. 
The results will be astonishing. The floor from 
which you feed the sheep must be dry and clean. 
If you have any sick ones among your flock 
separate them and give a measureful of Gold 
Medal Condition Powders three times a day for 
about a week after they are well in order to tone 
up the digestive or general system and prepare 
for fattening. Then feed the fattener regularly 
and thus make even your scrawny animals the 
pictures of beauty — with full quantity of mutton 
and an abundance of wool. That is what con- 
stitutes success in stock raising. Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to be the best 
muscle, bone and fat producer ever discovered 
by science, and therefore should be fed to your 
sheep every day, and if you will feed it every- 
day an absolute increase of 15 to 50 per 
cent in mutton and wool, and a saving of 15 to 
25 per cent in feed, will be guaranteed. The 
largest and most successful sheep raisers would 
not think of preparing fat sheep for the market 
without Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. It not only 
saves feed and makes fat, but it fattens in less 
than three quarters the time. Furthermore, it 
gives the mutton a delicious flavor that can only 
be obtained by quick fattening. Quick fattening 
forces the fat all through the muscles and makes 
it tender and juicy. This kind of mutton will 
make your flock famous in your district. On our 
cash guarantee to bring you paying results, can 
you afford to go on in the old way? Why not 
make the most possible money out of your 
sheep? Test it at our risk. Remember, your 
money back if you don't get paying results with 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener? If you have neve^ 
used it, write us to-day and test it for the highest 
profits.

SHROPSHIRE SHEEP. 

The Shropshire sheep are well adapted to the 
average farm. Their fleece is long and averages 
about 8 to 10 pounds, although they often bring 
a much bigger yield. Their mutton is of excel- 
lent quality and they fatten easily at about 18 
months. Their lambs are vigorous and of strong 
constitution. The Shropshire breed have black 
faces. This breed yield readily to the influences 
of Gold Coin Fattener in the w^ay of mutton and 
wool production. We can easily guarantee you 
an increase of 15 to 25 per cent. 



HAMPSHIRE SHEEP. 

This is a very good breed of sheep. They 
have large, black faces, short strong legs, and 
possess a strong constitution. Their mutton is 
of excellent quality. Their wool averages about 
8 to 10 pounds. Gold Coin Fattener increases 
the quantity of wool and mutton 15 to 25 per 
cent with ease. Their lambs are vigorous and 
strong. 

(Description of Breeds continued on next page. ) 



SHEEP RAISING. 

The wool production alone is over $50,000,000 
a year. Sheep will pay a handsome profit to 
everyone who has the right kind of land for 
them. Limestone or Sandstone Hills are said to 
make the ideal pasturage. Marshy places are 
unsuitable and must be thoroughly drained 
Timothy, red top, white clover, blue grass or 
orchard grass are good grasses for sheep. Sheep 
eat many kinds of weeds. This can be taken 
advantage of by turning them into the cornfield 
and thus used destroy the weeds which come up 
late in the season. But to put a full quantity of 
mutton on your sheep and to get an abundance 
of wool from them, they must have good food. 
They have to turn every ounce of feed they eat 



into living flesh and bone. When they do this 
they are making money for you in the way of 
mutton and .wool. They can't bring you a full, 
overflowing yield of mutton and wool if their 
systems are run down. Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener can be fed very cheaply, as a practical test 
will prove to any sheep-raiser that it will make 
an increase of 15 to 25 per cent more than could 
possibly be done without feeding it. It doesn't 
matter if your flock consists of six sheep or 
60,000, you want an overflowing abundance of 
profit from them. The increased profit is abso- 
lutely guaranteed. Gold Coin Cattle F*attener 
contains the elements made by nature that stim- 
ulate growth and fat production, and if it is fed 
once a day, giving one half measureful for each 
sheep, it can and will increase your mutton and 
wool crop. We absolutely guarantee it to do 
this. If it fails we will refund the price. You 
can't ask for a fairer test than that. It contains 
nothinp- that is harmful to sheep and we oflfer 
$5,000 cash forfeit to anyone that can prove that 
it does. We only ask you to test Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener on its merits as a money-maker 
to you. If you have never used this great fat- 
tener and developer, write to us and test it at 
our expense. Every pound is sold with a cash 
guarantee to bring you an absolute increase and 
improvement in meat, wool and breeding. Test 
it. Feed it every day on our guarantee. 



MAKES MONEY. 

It is well known that animals eat so 
hurriedly that considerable of their food 
passes through them undigested. Feed

digest and assimilate all they eat.

They produce an abundance of fine wool,, often 
10 to 15 pounds or more at the second shearing. 
They require more care than some other breeds 
and can only be raised with success in districts 
which have plenty of rich grasses, although 
breeders report excellent results where Gold 
Coin Fattener is used, even, though the pastur- 
age is sparse. Its eflfect on the wool is gratify- 
ing. They are good breeders and have many 
favorable qualities.

YOUR MUTTON YIELD. 

Every pound of mutton on a sheep has to 
grow there through the natural laws of diges- 
tion of feed, and turning it into bone and flesh. 
The quicker you can do this, the tenderer the 
mutton will be. That is why Gold Coin fed 
sheep are always famous in their district. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener promotes digestion and 
makes fat. If sheep are fed a measureful of the 
fattener twice a day along with the regular feed, 
the extra fat is distributed through the flesh, 
making it nice and tender and sweet. 

It has come to that point in fattening stock 
now-a-days that the farmer who does not use a 
scientific fattener cannot compete with his in- 
telligent neighbor who does. The people, the 
consumers, want scientifically fed mutton. It 
tastes better. It is tenderer. It is fattened

Typical Cotswold Sheep. 



COTSWOLD SHEEP. 



The Cotswold sheep are an English breed. 
Since their introduction into the United States 
they have become great favorites. They have 
many favorable qualities which adapt them to 
the average farm. They are good breeders, large 
and hardy, and thrive w^ell even on the poorer 
grades of grasses. Their v^^ool is long and will 
average 8 or 9 pounds, although they often bring 
a much higher yield. Their fleece is somewhat 
coarse, but it does not get gummy nor shrink. 
Their mutton is of excellent quality and they 
can be fattened for market at about 18 months. 
Their lambs are of strong constitution. The 
Cotswold sheep are especially well adapted to 
the western states. Breeders of Cotswolds in 
all parts of the country are reporting amazing 
increases in mutton and wool by the use of Gold 
Coin Cattle Food and Fattener. 

(Descriptions of breeds continued on next page.) 

SHEEP BREEDING. 

The proper age for breeding is two years to 
ten years. Have one ram for every 60 to 70 sheep, 
Do not allow him to run with flock. Your ram 
will be able to serve more ewes and get lambs of 
greater constitutional strength if he is fed daily 
a measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. It 
makes vigor and vitality in the male. Perfect 
digestion and a high state of health makes 
him a sure "getter" and throws his own traits 
of strength and vigorous constitution into the 
lambs. Weak lambs are one of the drawbacks 
in sheep raising. You will have no such 
trouble with your lambs if you will keep your 
rams full of vigorous vitality by feeding one 



measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener once 
a day. The ewes, too, will get through their 
lambing with less danger if they bear strong 
healthy offsprings. During the lambing time 
the ewes must have extra care. They must 
have good food, hay, oats, crushed corn and bran 
with a measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, 
for each ewe. It helps her digestion and its action 
as a fat producer enables her to build up again 
with ease and rapidity. The danger is thus 
greatly lessened. Your ewes will give more and 
richer milk, (hence better nutrition to the lambs) 
if you will feed them a half measureful of Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener once a day. It is guaran- 
teed to pay you 15 to 25 per cent on the profit 
of your ewes. If you have never used it write 
us, and test these facts at our expense. We 
know from our experience as practical stock 
raisers that these paying results can be obtained, 
or we could not make you such an offer. 

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener keeps your sheep 
well and makes them grow all winter. 

Mutton is high and sheep are big money 
makers if you keep them growing rapidly. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to increase

Sheep fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener have 
better flavored mutton and often command a pre- 
mium in the market.

Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. 

Sheep are like cattle, in the construc- 
tion of their digestive organs. Therefore 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener does for sheep 
what it does for cattle. It increases flesh, 
milk (for the lambs) and wool, and makes 
extra money for you out of your sheep. 
Try it. 



The vegetable medical ingredients contained

tion to the regular feed for fattening sheep.

DORSET SHEEP. 

The Dorset sheep are an especially good 
breed for the mountain regions. They are strong 
and hardy. The wool is soft and weighs 7 or 8 
pounds. They are very good breeders. The 
Dorset sheep respond wonderfully to Gold Coin 
Cattle Fattener. Notice how their mutton is 
improved by it. * 

EXMOOR SHEEP. 

An English breed. They are very hardy, 
are a successful breed in England, and would 
be in this country if fed Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener. It will more than pay any American 
breeder of Exmoors to use it. 

SICKLY LAMBS. 

If you have any. weak, sickly lambs, give 
them a half measureful of Gold Medal Condition 
Powder in ground corn, bran and milk twice a 
day. Continue the Condition Powder once a day 
for at least a week or two after the lambs are well, 
to tone up the system, get the blood and the in- 
ternal organs in good condition. Then feed Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener in their feed, full or half 
measureful according to their age, twice a day. 
This will give them strong constitutions and 
thus you will have no sheep with weak constitu- 
tions in your flock with the liability of their 
breeding weak ofifspring, strong lambs will in- 
sure you strong, healthy flock of sheep. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener, by keeping the system 
strong and robust, prevents diseases. Every 
pound of the Fattener is sold on a guarantee to 
prevent diseases and be a money-saver to you.

timely use of Gold Coin Germ Killer — a 50-cent 
can makes fifty gallons ready for use.

GOLD COIN CATTLE FATTENER. 

The Sheep Raiser's Friend, 
Makes Sheep Grow Fast and Keeps Them Well. 



THE QUICKER YOU FITTEN, 

THE TENDERER THE MEAT. 

Meat producers are always striving to grow 
and fatten in the shortest possible time, not only 
because it saves them 10 to 25 per cent in feed, 
but because the meat is so much tenderer and 
sweeter. Agricultural science is working along 
these lines. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener brings 
great results. The largest meat producers in the 
United States make the strongest claims for its 
wonderful fat producing power. Animals don't 
eat with any more forethought than people. 
Most people eat too fast. Sheep's digestion, in 
ordinary condition, is rarely or never up to its 
highest standard. To get the best results in 
growth and fattening, all that is needed is per- 
fect, thorough digestion. The healthiest animal 
puts on fat the easiest. Fed on Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener, your sheep will simply have to put on 
fat, and they will do it quickly, saving you 15 
to 25 per cent in feed, besides making you a 
handsome profit in the increased size of the 
animals. If you have never used Gold Coin 
Sheep Fattener, write to us at once. We guar- 
antee it to be a speedy money-maker to you. We 
only ask a fair and honest trial, and if it fails to 
bring you paying results, the price will be re- 
funded. That is the strongest guarantee you 
ever had offered to you — we could not do it if 
we were not certain from years of practical ex- 
perience that Gold Coin Cattle Fattener actually 
does stimulate growth and create fat. We will 
stand the risk of failure — you use it on your 
sheep and reap the profit it wins. It should be 
fed to your sheep from birth to maturity to 
make the finest meat. 



Gold Coin Worm Powder is death to worms 
in sheep, cattle, horses, hogs and mules. 



WHY SHEEP SHOULD HAVE THE 
SAME THING AS CATTLE. 

We advise the use of Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener for sheep as well as cattle, be- 
cause the digestive apparatus are the same. 
Sheep raisers make extra money by using 
it.

better than a food that is supposed to do every- 
thing. The common sense of the best stockmen 
and farmers all over the world backs up our 
scientific preparations. They repeatedly write to 
us praising our Cattle Fattener for its fattening 
effects upon cattle, steers, etc. Hog raisers praise- 
the Hog Food to the skies. They say that it acts 
specifically on hogs in a way that no stock food 
ever did before. It actually fattens hogs in much 
less the usual time and puts an elegant "finish" on 
them. Why shouldn't it? It is a Specific Food 
for hogs — hogs only. It is something you have 
never used before. It is one of the new and use- 
ful scientific discoveries of this great age of ad- 
vance and progress.

lutely guaranteed to any sheep raiser that uses

DISEASES OF S HEEP— TREATM ENT AND CURE. 

EVERY FARMER SHOULD LEARN HOW TO TREAT AND CURE ALL THE 
COMMON AILMENTS OF HIS HORSES, CATTLE, SHEEP AND HOGS. 



SCAB. 



Scab is due to a parasite which burrows under 
the skin. This sets up inflammation. A watery 
secretion exudes, which dries and forms scabs. It 
is an easy disease to recognize, because the 
animal pulls off the wool with its teeth. The 
sheep then bites or rubs the bare surface. The 
back, between the neck and the tail, is the usual 
location, the same as vermin on other animals. 
The mite (scab) hatches in four days and at 
seven days of age lays eggs. Therefore, you 
must "dip" twice. The second "dip" being more 
than four days and less tharr seven days after. 
Scab is not fatal, but it is a terrible pest. You 
lose the wool and the sheep cannot develop or 
put on fat as it should. 

Treatment and Cure: Mix three tablespoon- 
fuls of Gold Coin Germ Killer to one-half pail of 
water, and thoroughly saturate (soak) the di- 
seased portions. Make this application once a 
day until cured. "Dip" the sheep in a solution 
made of 4 tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Germ 
Killer to each pail of water. Hold the sheep under 
for two minutes by the watch. Occasionally sub- 
merge the head. Rub the scabs with a curry- 
comb or corncob to insure reaching the para- 
site. This will kill the mature mites, but the 
eggs, which remain, hatch in four days. There- 
fore, a second "dip" must be made after four 
days — about the sixth day is the best time for 
the second "dip." Separate the afflicted sheep 
from the well ones. Clean out the pens and 
sprinkle solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer (three 
tablespoonfuls to each pail of water) over the 
floor thoroughly. If you have earth floors, re- 
move the surface -and put in fresh earth. Then 
add three tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Germ 
Killer to each gallon of whitewash, and use to 
whitewash the pens, mangers, fence and posts 
against which they may rub. 



If any of your sheep have scabs, get a can of 
Gold Coin Germ Killer at once. Write to us and 
test it at our expense.

EPIZOOTIC, CATARRH, INFLUENZA. 

This is an inflammation of the mucous mem- 
branes of the nose and throat. Sheep with weak 
constitutions are more subject to it, as it comes 
from exposure and colds. The appetite is poor, 
there is discharge from the nose and eyes. There 
may be coughing. Keep in warm quarters and 
feed two measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
to each sheep twice a day until cured. It strength-

Worms are common in sheep, but they are 
hard to detect. Often a sheep raiser cannot tell 
that worms are in his flock until he examines 
some of the dead ones. As no one can tell when 
worms may get a start in their flock, the safest 
thing is to give them a good worm killer once 
in a while and see that they are free from wbrms. 
The best and most thorough worm destroyer or 
the market is the Gold Coin Worm Powder. It 
is the cheapest because it goes the farthest. It 
contains no dangerous drugs. It is guaranteed 
to do the work or money refunded. It will not 
only clean out the worms, but it will strengthen 
and invigorate the entire system, acting as a 
tonic. Every sheep raiser should always have it 
on ^hand and as stated above, give some to 
your flock every now and then to see that they 
are free. You are wasting feed (money) if you 
are feeding wormy sheep with their stomachs 
and bowels clogged up with worms. They can- 
not put on flesh nor grow as they ought to. 

Directions: Mix two tablespoonfuls of Gold 
Coin Worm Powder in a good sized feed of bran 
mash and give this twice a day for a week or 
more according to the severity of the case. la 
some cases the worms are more difficult to expel 
than others and require longer treatment. 

Preventive to Worms: Mix a tablespoonful 
of Gold Coin Worm Powder for each sheep in 
their regular feed once a day for a week. These 
precautions need only be taken when there are 
worms in your flock. But it is wise to give all 



FOOT ROT. 

This is a very dangerous and destructive dis- 
ease. The infection causes impairment of the 
general health, therefore the afflicted ones should 
have a measureful of Gold Medal Condition Pow- 
der twice a day to tone up the system and get the 
blood in better condition to promote healing. 
For external use, wash the diseased foot with 
solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer, made by 
mixing four tablespoonfuls to a pail of warm 
water. When thoroughly cleansed, apply Gold 
Coin Healing Salve thickly. Careful treatment 
is necessary to cure this disease, but we guaran-

SCIENTIFIC HOG FEEDING. 

HOW ANY FARMER OR HOG-RAISER CAN DOUBLE HIS YEARLY HOG PROFITS. 



The scientific feeding of hogs has reached 
such a point at the present time that the farmer 
or special hog raiser who does not use "Some kind 
of scientific fattening food, cannot compete with 
the hog raiser who does. A hog raiser who uses 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener, is bound to beat his 
neighbor who does not, because the "Fattener" 
fattens in about half the time, and yet, at least 
15 to 25 per cent less feed is required. Any 
farmer who knows anything at all about stock, 
knows that a young animal fattens easier (that is 
on less food) and quicker time than an old one. 
If a farmer can "crowd" his hogs and get them 
on the market at 5 to 6 months of age, weighing 
from 175 to 300 pounds he knows that the amount 
of feed required up to that period will be very 
small, thus leaving the seller a much greater 
profit than if that same hog was fed for a year. 
The older a hog gets the more it eats, and the less 
fat it puts on from a given quantity of food. 
Quick fattening is the kind that pays. 

We beg to ask the earnest attention of all 
who are interested in the raising of hogs. First, 
that we may teach them the new and scientific 
methods of feeding now adopted bv the success- 
ful, money-making hog raisers, and second, that 
we may put them in a position where they, too, 
can obtain the wonderful new scientific prepara- 
tions and fattening foods, which make hog rais- 
ing successful. In as few words as possible we 
wish to tell how almost anyone, whether experi- 
enced or not, can with but very little expense, 
and very little labor, breed and raise hogs at 
great profit. There is almost nothing in the 
line of stock in which there is s© much profit as 
hogs. The demand for good hogs is great, and 
the demand for scientifically fed hogs — and young 
sucklim? pigs — is greater. 

The number of hogs that are killed by the 
various packing concerns in the United States 
States runs into the millions each year. The 
number of pounds of lard runs into the billions. 
The demand is not decreasing. Therefore the 
more hogs you can raise the more money you 
will make. Two very important facts face every 
swine raiser, first, to raise hogs in large num- 
bers they must keep in good health, and second, 
they must be fattened quickly and gotten rid of 
quickly, so as not to reduce the profits of the 
yield by too much consumption of feed. How 
can these two important facts be met success- 
fully? Tust as easy, if not easier, than raising 
anything else. For the benefit of the hog raiser a 



new scientific compound has been invented — Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener — which possesses a TRIPLE 
action. Its first action is to aid and increase di- 
gestion and assimilation and the superinduced 
production of fat and growth which make the hog 
reach full weight in almost half the usual time. 
The tender age of the hog also makes the meat 
more desirable and healthful. Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener does exactly those three things, it is sci- 
entifically compounded so as to be a Digestive, 
a Blood Purifier, and a Flesh, Bone and Fat Pro- 
ducer. All that is necessary to do the most scien- 
tific- feedine^ of hogs, and make big profits is to 
feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener regularly three 
times a day in their regular feed. It is very 
simple. Every package contains a little measure 
which gives the scientific amount necessary to 
give each hog to get the very best results. Doing 
so is sure to make extra money for you out of 
your hogs. We don't care how many diflferent 
kinds of stock foods or condition powders you 
may have used, Gold Coin Hog Fattener, is a 
fattener scientifically compounded for hogs and 
hogs only, and will do the work when general 
"stock foods" fail. A stock food which is said by 
its owners to do everything from fattening horses 
down to makin.g chickens lay more eggs may pos- 
sibly do nothing, because such a preparation i% 
not scientifically compounded for any special use. 
But Gold Coin Hog Fattener is specially com- 
pounded for the fattening of hogs only, and it 
does it, las thousands of hog raisers will testify. 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener is not for cattle, sheep 
or horses — it is for hogs only, and therefore it 
will do for hogs that which no other preparation 
now on the market will. It is much less expensive 
than the varius stock foods on the market, and 
will bring you a hundred times more profit. If 
you are raising hogs, it is important that you 
should use a "hog food" pure and simple and thus 
make the most profit possible from your season's 
yield. We want to see you make more money 
than ever out of your hogs, and will gladly help 
you if you will write us regarding the number of 
head of hogs you have, their breed, their present 
condition, etc. All corerspondence and advice. is 
free. Write us regarding any of your stock at 
any time.' We will be pleased to answer, and get 
you on a scientific basis of feeding, and thus also 
get you on the right track for making extra 
money. Write our veterinary department if your 
hogs or anv of your stock become sick. 



Don't ship hogs or cattle to market until they 
have been fattened. Fat gives weight and weight 
means money to you. 



Hogs fed on Gold Coin Hog Fattener have 
better flavored pork .and often command a 
premium in the market.

carried on the trolley and dropped into the tanks of boiling water, as shown on the next page in this book. The above

FATTENING FOR MARKET. 

You Double Your Profits by Fattening Quickly. 

It is recognized that the greatest profits in 
hog raising are obtained by forcing the feed 
from birth until ready for the market. Hog 
breeders always make big profits and they are 
making larger profits today than ever on account 
of the scientific method of feeding with Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener. 

This hog Fattener is fed to brood sows and 
the increased richness of her milk imparts 
strength and vitality to her pigs. The pigs when 
weaned are fed the Gold Coin Hog Fattener in 
their slop or other feed and in five to eight 
months are ready for market weighing 200 to 
300 pounds — their pork tender and sweet. These 
scientifically fed hogs often command a premium 
in the market. 

QUICK FATTENING. Maybe you have 

never used Gold Coin Hog Fattener and want to 
use it now just to fatten up some hogs quickly. 
In this case the dose will have to be increased. 
Use Gold Coin Hog Fattener two measurefuls 
for each hog twice a day, mixed with the slop; 
or wet up the grain feed and mix Gold Coin Hd^ 
Fattener with it. If you wish to push the fat- 
tening very rapidly you may feed the Fattener 
three times a day. Give plenty of water to 
drink. Some raisers use three measurefuls three 
times a day to get excessively speedy results. 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener not only shortens the 
fattening period but it saves 15 to 25 per cent of 
the feed. One bushel of corn will produce 10 to 
12 pounds of pork if fed along with Gold Coin 
Hog Fattener, whereas a bushel of corn fed 
alone will only produce 6 to 8 pounds. We have 
had hog raisers report even larger gains. There- 
fore we can easily guarantee 15 to 25 per cent 



gain, and we agree to refund the price if it does 
not. We want you to test it. Write to us. 

FATTENING STUNTED PIGS OR SHOATS. 

The best breeder will sometimes have a few 
stunted pigs in his herd. They never seem to 
get started growing. Separate them and feed a 
measureful of Gold Coin Hog Fattener in good, 
rich slop three times a day. This will give them 
a quick start and they will soon be even with the 
rest. Gold Coin Hog Fattener is the cheapest 
thing you can use and it is the quickest. It never 
fails. 

MONEY IN FAT. 

In raising hogs for the market, you must do 
more than merely feed to sustain life. It gives 
no profit. YOU MUST FEED TO FATTEN. 
Fat, if taken on quickly and cheaply, brings the 
big profits. In view of these facts, farmers should 
be on the lookout for a special food that will fat- 
ten quickly and with the least amount of waste. 
You want a food which, when pushed (as during 
the fattening time), will keep your hogs hungry 
all the time, increasing their digestion and turning 
every ounce of feed into flesh and fat. Quick 
work means quick profits. Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener makes quick fat and saves 25 per cent of 
feed, thus giving you 25 per cent more profit, and 
gets you to the market first. Fed regularly on 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener, your hogs are kept up to 
the highest point of health, making their bones 
grow, and giving you large-sized hogs. The best 
hogs for the market are hogs that have been fed 
from birth upon fattening foods. It is the cheap- 
est in the long run, and brings you greater profits. 
If you have never used Gold Coin Hog Fattener, 
write to us for a package or pail and use it on our 
guarantee. It will cost you nothing, if it fails to 
bring you paying results.

HOG RAISING. 

HOW TO MAKE VOUR'S MONEY MAKERS. 

RAISING ON SMALL SCALE, The waste 
around the house and at the very most $2 or $3 
worth of feed will raise a fine hog or two. Such 
hogs are practically all profit. They are like 
finding money. The feed can be made to go 
much farther and your hog will have a clean, 
fine, fat finish if you will use Gold Coin Hog 
-Fattener once a day. We guarantee it to put on 
a half pound of fat more for every cent's worth 
of Gold Coin Fattener you use. We especially 
wish to interest small raisers. 

RAISING ON LARGE SCALE. To large 

raisers the great item of expense is feed. Remem- 
ber, that sick hogs or those with weak constitu- 
tions can't grow and lay on fat like healthy 
hogs. You know this. I know it. Naturally, I, 
as a man with practical experience, always urge 
the use of Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener 
from birth up in order to increase the constitu- 
tional strength of the animals. If your expenses 
are high your profits are less. Sick hogs, like 
sick people, waste in flesh, waste of feed, that is 
waste in expense — money. Weakly hogs make 
very little profit over the feed you give them. It 
is a known fact in science that animals eat too 
rapidly to digest all they eat. Considerable of 
their food passes away undigested, not turned in- 
to flesh, bone or fat. Now right here is where 
Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener gets in its 
work. Here is where the large raiser can save 
all the way from 15 to 50 per cent. It makes 
the hogs digest every ounce they eat and turn it 
into flesh and fat. They just can't help it. Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener stimulates digestion and 
creates growth, strength and health. It prevents 
Cholera, Pneumonia and thus saves you' loss by 
disease. 

As a money-saver to the raiser we urge scien- 
tific feeding by the use of Gold Coin Hog Food 
and Fattener. Try it, and use it, and if it does 
not save you money in feed, in waste of fat by 
sickness, in loss by death from cholera and make 
you a handsome profit in increased size of hog 
and quantity of fat, it won't cost you a cent. 
Every pound of Gold Coin Hog Fattener is sold 
on a SPOT CASH GUARANTEE. 

It is not what your ho^s eat, bat what they 
digrest, that makes money for you. 



This man doesn't believe in the new scientific methods 
of feeding and cleanliness. Hog Cholera caught him nap- 
ping and as a result his hogs are all dying instead of get- 
ting fat and making money for him. 

THE BOAR. 

Farmers too frequently neglect the condition 
of their boars. The boar should be in good con- 
dition, and full of vigor and healthy vitality, and 
he will hand down his good qualities to his get. 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener- will give him greatly 
increased vigor and his pigs will have extra 
strong constitutions. -It pays to have pigs born 
with strong constitutions. They fatten easier 
and are less liable to hog cholera. The Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener should be fed to the boars 
three times a day during the breeding season, 
otherwise once a day. 

FANCY PURE BREEDING. 

If you are feeding fancy hogs for the prize 
ring, we will guarantee the finest finish you ever 
saw if you will use Gold Coin Hog Fattener once 
or twice a day. The boars and sows will look 
pictures of beauty and health. Prize winners all 
over the country claim they owe a great deal of 
their success in the prize ring to Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener. It makes their rounded form and 
sleek skin look attractive. These little points 
are what win the Blue Ribbons. 

YOU CANT LOSE, WE WON'T LET YOU. 

The successful farmer is the one who makes 
the most money. The 15 to 25 per cent that you 
save by feeding Gold Coin Hog Fattener makes 
you just that much more successful than your 
behind-the-times neighbors who feed the old way 
without any scientific help. Gold Coin Fattener 
makes the animals digest all they eat, and turn 
it all into flesh and fat — money for you. There 
is no waste. Test it. Every pound of Gold Coin 
Fattener is sold on a guarantee to bring you 
paying results or your money back if it fails. 
But it won't fail and thousands of the most suc- 
cessful farmers claim they would not feed with- 
out it. Some say it saves them 15 to 25 per cent 
in feed and the increase in fat and fineness in 
finish makes them 50 per cent more. Write to 
us. We take the risk if it fails and you get the 
profits it vidns. 

HOGS DIGESTION. 

In fattening hogs you are always over-crowd- 
ing the digestion. Doesn't common sense tell 
you that hogs need Gold Coin Hog Food and Fat- 
tener to aid digestion. It will save feed.

Pure Bred Daroe-Jersey Sow. (Owned by Mr. Wm. Malcolm, "Vrorthln^on, Minn.) 

The above picture shows off to an excellent degree the good points of the Duroc-Jersey 
Hog. It will be noticed that this breed has its distribution of flesh where it will dress at a very- 
high percentage. It is a good hog for the general farmer as well as the special hog raiser. Mr. 
William Malcolm, of Worthington, Minn., is the owner of the above beauty, and will be pleased to 
correspond with any who contemplate putting in the Duroc-Jersey breed. His prices are right. Mr. 
Malcolm uses Gold Coin Hog Fattener for his hogs. It is an excellent preparation for hogs, be- 
cause it not only increases rapid growth and fattening, but keeps them free from disease. 



THE DURCO-JERSEYS. 

Feed your Duroc-Jerseys Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener. It will do wonders for them in the v/ay 
of development. This hog naturally has a good 
frame, puts on flesh rapidly, and is a good breeder. 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener is a preparation made 
up for the special purpose of developing and fat- 
tening hogs. It does it by increasing the diges- 
tion and assimilation, thus making every ounce 
of food the hog eats rapidly turn into bone, 
muscle and fat. It is the first and only "Hog 
Fattener" on the market, and has long been 
wanted by hog raisers. It also prevents Cholera 
and keeps hogs free from disease by keeping 
them at the highest possible standard of health. 
Feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener regularly to your 
Duroc-Jerseys from an early age up as directed 
in article on "Feeding for the Market," and you 
will have 150 pound to 350 pound hogs in five to 
eight months. It is this kind of quick, scientific 
fattening that brings you big profits. People in - 
the cities are becoming educated to the use of 
scientifically fed meats, therefore quickly fattened 
animals are more in demand now than ever be- 
fore. 

(Description of Breeds continued on next page.) 

6 Feeds for I Cent. 

At this very low price no farmer or stock- 
man can afford NOT to feed this very valuable 
"Food" to his hogs. It is guaranteed to make 
you a saving of 15 to 25 per cent on all your 
feeding. Considering the results obtained. Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener is about 50 per cent cheaper 
than any other Food on the market at the present 
time, 



NOW IS THE TIME. 

There never was a time like NOW to begin 
using Gold Coin Hog Fattener. With corn and 
all feed at its present high price, you are simply 
forced to scheme around some way to make a 
saving in feed. You must do something to make 
every ounce of feed count. That is what is known 
as "economic and scientific feeding" and that is 
the right way to feed. Every farmer and stock- 
man should do it. You should figure close on 
feed, for what you save in feed is profit. You 
simply take a little measureful of the Hog Fat- 
tener for each hog, and put it in the regular feed. 
It increases their digestion, regulates the bowels, 
keeps the water clear, and turns every particle of 
food they eat into bone, muscle and fat — and it 
does it in almost half the time. If you have never 
used Gold Coin Hog Fattener, we want you to 
try it, get a package or pail and use on our guar-

is added one measureful of Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener for each hog, and see how your pigs will rel- 
ish it. It is very good for them every once in a 
while, because it relieves the acidity of the stom- 
ach to which pigs are often subject. 



BREEDING HOGS FOR MONEY. 

Hogs are ready for breeding purposes at six 
to eight months, but it is better not to breed 
them until ten to twelve months old. Save the 
best sows for breeding. 

BROOD SOWS.

mothers, the best nurses to their young. The

to maturity without loss.

strong constitutions and good health. They 
will make easier fattening hogs. Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener can be fed with perfect safety, as it 
contains only medical ingredients which are 
beneficial to pig-bearing. It keeps a sow in 
better condition of strength and health and will 
enable her to raise two good litters a year of fine 
healthy pigs. 

^ WEANING. 

When you wean young pigs at six weeks of 
age, mix a measureful of Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener for each five pigs once a day in their milk 
or slop. They should also be given some green 
feed. Pigs should be castrated at two to four 
weeks of age. 

A WONDERFUL PIG GROWER.

and shorts with skim milk or sour milk and 
water, and in this mix a measureful of Gold

day. You will be surprised at their wonderfully 
rapid growth. Gold Coin Hog Fattener con- 
tains the elements which make bone and flesh.

STUNTED PIGS, OR RUNTS. 

No farmer who makes farming a business, can 
afford to raise runts. They run around 2 or 3 
years, eating up your grain and you get nothing 
to show for it. The real cause of runts is usual- 
ly poor digestion. You can have no runts if 
you are a regular user of Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener, Its principal action is to give strong 
digestion and assimilation. Every bit of grain 
they eat is turned into healthy tissues, thereby 
laying on of fat and flesh begin at once. Runts 
make just as good eating after being raised upon 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener as if they were forced 
up to 300 pounds in six months. Small runts, 2 
and 3 years old, weighing only 50 to 70 pounds, 
are forced up to 250 to 350-pound hogs in 3 to 5 
months. Farmers who have never used this won- 
derful "Fattener" simply stand in amazement at 
the remarkable results. If you have never used 
it, write us direct for a $2.00 pail (25 lbs.), and we 
will have you test it on our guarantee. It costs you 
nothing if it fails to bring you paying results.

keeps them growing, being a rnedicated food, it 
lays on a delicious flavored fat and flesh that is 
higniy praised by all who eat it. If you have any 
runts, get after them with. Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener. It will save you 2 or 3 years' feed — and 
gives you a large, healthy hog. Try it. 

EDUCATED PEOPLE NOW-A-DAYS WANT 
SCIENTIFICALLY FED MEATS. 

To obtain extra fine meats you must put some- 
thing in the feed that will impart to the flesh a 
delicious flavor and texture. Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener contains those ingredients. Feed it and 
notice the difference in quality of the meat, and 
feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener to hogs and there 
will be more of it on the pig, too.

Pure Bred Tain-worth Boar. 

The above Tamworth Boar, a splendid specimen of his breed, is owned by Mr. H. N. Ayers, 
Honey Creek, Wis. This boar "Simpson's Diamond" (948) won 1st prize at the Minnesota State Fair. 
He is 2 years old and weighs 780 lbs. The Tamworth hog is the ideal "bacon type" — the kind the pack- 
ing houses like. Mr. Ayers uses Gold Coin Hog Fattener and also Gold Coin Cattle Food. All who 
have never used Gold Coin Hog Fattener should begin now. We guarantee it to make you extra 
money. Any one desirous of investing in Tamworth Hogs should write Mr. Ayers. His hogs are 
among the finest in this country and well worth the price he is asking. 

THERE NEED BE NO RUNTS. 

When Gold Coin Hog Fattener can be had, it 
makes big, fat pigs of Runts. It does it by stop- 
ping the waste of food that runs through it un- 
digested. Every bit of grain or feed the runt eats 
is digested and turned into flesh and fat. That 
is the nature of our "Hog Fattener." It is made 
to do that, and that it does do it, can readily be 
seen from our Guarantee. Runts should be separ- 
ated from the rest of the herd, kept in a clean 
pen, and fed frequently on warm ground feed 
that has been soaked for some hours before feed- 
ing. To every bucket full of feed mix in one 
measureful of Gold Coin Hog Fattener, or you 
can even give two measurefuls if necessary to get 
quick results. Our "Hog Fattener" is the only 
specific "Hog Fattener" on the market today. 
It has the correct scientific ingredients in it that 
go right into the make-up of a hog for building 
and fattening purposes. It is to fatten hogs 
— and hogs only — and it certainly DOES do the 
work. General stock-foods can't compare with 
it. Try it on your hogs. 



THE TAMWORTH HOGS. 

In Canada this breed of hogs has become a 
great favorite. This is an excellent hog to raise, 
because of the fact that it comes to maturity so 
early. It is chestnut or bright sandy red in color. 
Long face; long, deep sides; light jowl and shoul- 
der, which make it a convenient hog for pork 
packers to handle. It is supposed to have the 
highest percentage of lean meat, which is of very 
delicious flavor and texture. When fed on Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener they make very rapid and 
excellent growth. It also gives a good bony 
structure on which to carry the flesh and fat, and 
give weight. Feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener to 
this breed from birth up, as it improves the con- 
dition of the flesh and keeps the animal in a bet- 
ter state of health during its entire lifetime. It 
gives a better flow of milk to the sow, and 
makes them more prolific. They are good moth- 
ers and good nurses, usually bringing up their 
young with excellent skill. The boars are very 
vigorous and good producers. When dressed, 
these hogs make good weight and their flesh is 
of fine quality, lean and pink, and as long as lean 
bacon continues to be in demand the Tamworths 
will always be a good variety to raise. All Tam- 
worth raisers ought to use Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener, because it will make a surprising increase 
in the size and weight of the body in this hog. 
The strong, bony structure of this animal en- 
ables it to carry an enormous weight without 
danger of their legs giving away.

HOG INSURANCE. 

It is just like having good insurance on your 
hogs to feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener. It's the 
cheapest insurance you can buy, only one cent for 
ten days and it's not only guaranteed to prevent 
diseases but to make you 15 to 25 per cent profit. 

Fat comes from what the hog digests. That's 
money for you. What passes through undigested 
is lost money for you.

THE YORKSHIRE WHITE HOG 

Gold Coin Hog Fattener does remarkable work 
on the Yorkshire White hog. It promotes the 
appetite, increases the digestion, and builds up 
the hog in a remarkably short time. In this breed 
of. hogs The Fattener brings about easy fatten- 
ing. Yorkshire is a good hog for farmers to 
raise because they have a first-class constitution, 
are excellent breeders and take good care of 
their young. But most important of all, the use 
of Gold Coin Hog Fattener fattens them so 
quickly that they can always be gotten to the 
market early — which means ready money. In 
this breed of hogs it is also best to feed the Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener almost from birth up, be- 
cause by its general conditioning qualities, it 
builds up the whole animal, bone, muscles and 
fat, giving a larger growth and a greater weight. 
By this method your Yorkshire whites can be 
put on the market at 200 to 300 pounds in a re- 
markably short time. If you have never tested 
the value of Gold Coin Hog Fattener in hog 
raising write us at once for a package or pail and 
you can try it at our expense, if it fails to bring 
you paying results. 

THE SUFFOLK HOG. 

This is simply a modification of the Yorkshire 
hog. It has all the characteristics of the York- 
shire hog. It is small in size, usually very fat, 
with small, short legs, thin skin, and fine, white 
hair. Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener helps 
this breed very materially by building up the 
body, strengthening the frame, aiding digestion, 
saving food wastes, and the laying on of flesh and 
fat. In this particular breed, Gold Coin Fattener 
always makes a great increase in the profits. 
(Breeds of Hogs continued on next page) 



EASY CARE OF HOGS. 

Hogs require practically no care. On the 
other hand when they get sick there is practically 
nothing that can be done as they die so quickly, 
and besides their diseases are all catching, con- 
tagious. Hence it is of greatest importance in 
swine raising to prevent disease entering the 
herd. Most people call all hog diseases Cholera. 
To my own knowledge there are sixteen different 
diseases which people call Cholera. All are dan- 
gerous but reasonable care will prevent and cure 
every one of them. This will explain why one 
farmer will get much better results from Gold 
Coin Food and Fattener than another. If you 
have fed your hogs with Gold Coin Food and 
Fattener regularly, diseases will rarely if ever 
get into your herd, and if it does the attack will 
be milder. The farmer who has been feeding 
the Fattener now and then in a slipshod way, 
cannot expect such good results. Nine times out 
of ten this same careless farmer has not paid any 
attention to disinfecting. Whenever the pens are 
cleaned they should be thoroughly sprinkled with 
Gold Coin Germ Killer. It is surprising that this 
careless farmer saves any of his hogs, after a 
disease gets started. 

The use of a scientific Gold Coin Hog Food 
and Germ Killer (Disinfectant) is only common 
sense care of hogs. You should improve and build 
up the constitution and this can be done in no 
other way than to aid the digestion which you are 
•always over-crowding in hogs, by feeding regularly 
every day the Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener. 
It will save you half the feed. Not only the feed 
is saved but the digestive organs are kept in bet- 
ter health and the whole constitution strength-

ened. That is the way to prevent Hog Cholera. 
When Hog Cholera gets in your herd you can't 
guarantee an absolute cure in all cases, but should 
the disease prove to be one of the sixteen other 
diseases that are frequently called Hog Cholera, 
we can guarantee an absolute cure by the proper 
use of Gold Coin Condition Food and Gold Coin 
Disinfectant. But the easiest and safest way is 
to feed to all your hog-stock, the sows, boars, 
pigs and hogs Gold Coin Food and Fattener once 
a day and keep them in the fastest growing con- 
dition. This extra good health makes them 
easier to fatten. We guarantee the Gold Coin 
Food to save you 15 to 25 per cent. It can and 
will be a money-saver to you or the price will 
be refunded. We only urge you to try it fairly 
and honestly on our SPOT CASH GUARAN- 
TEE. Write to us today. Feed scientifically and

THE ESSEX HOG.

Hog Fattener will quickly fatten them at almosi 
any age. Their color is black, face short and 
weight at maturity 300 to 350 pounds. If you raise 
Essex hogs don't fail to test Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener on them, and it will save you money in feed- 
ing and make you additional profit by shortening 
the period of fattening. Other English varieties 
of hogs are the Cheshire and the Black Dorset. 
They are easily fattened when fed Gold Coin 
Hog Fattener. We have had reports from hog 
raisers both in England and America on the ef- 
fects of Gold Coin Hog Fattener in these breeds,

tener is used from young up the Chester Whites

PROFIT IN SUMMER FATTENING. 

Great profits can be made by summer fatten- 
ing if it is done right, that is, properly. Summer 
and early fall is the very best time, to fatten 
hogs, because at this season of the year they 
make the quickest gains. Summer and fall is 
really the least profitable time for fattening if 
you follow the old method and take ten to eleven 
months to get your hogs on the market. But 
grow and fatten them quickly, as can be done 
with Gold Coin Hog Fattener, and get them to 
market at 6 to 8 months of age, and you make 
wonderful profits. You make profits in two 
ways. First, getting to market early brings 
higher prices, and second, you save 3 to 5 months 
of feeding — which is that much food saved. Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener is the greatest "Rapid 
Grower" and "Quick Fattener" in existence. It 
shortens the fattening period almost half. Stock- 
men all over the country are making almost 
double the profits they did before. The proper 
method is to begin fattening from birth up, be- 
cause young animals turn more of their feed into 
flesh than old ones. You know this and should 
take advantage of it. "Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener" will force almost any young pig to a 200 
to 300 pound growth at 6 to 8 months or less, 
and that is the time to make them bring the 
most profit. In summer and fall while the corn 
is still in the milk, feed stalks and all, as the 
hogs will also eat a great deal of the stalk. Give 
them clover, too, if you can. Feed the "Fat- 
tener" twice a day — a measureful to each hog, 
and you will have such quickly grown up, large 
hogs as to astonish your neighbors. Gold Coin 
Hog Fattener never fails to fatten — it is the 
only food manufactured that is sold for the 
especial purpose of fattening, and it does it, and 
does it quick. Write for a supply of it and begin 
using it at once. A 25-pound pail $2.00. We 
guarantee our Hog Food to clear you 15 to 25 
per cept more profit th^p without it, 



IT PAYS THEM. IT WILL PAY YOU. 

If your friends and neighbors use Gold Coin 
Hog Food and Fattener and make extra money 
by it, it ought to, and will pay you, too. You 
can't afford to be behind anybody in your com- 
munity. Our Hog Fattener is easy to use, you 
simply put a small measureful (about a table- 
spoonful) of "Fattener" in the regular feed for 
your hogs, and it makes them grow, fattens and 
puts a fine finish on them in almost half the 
time. All you need to do is feed, the "Fattener" 
and it will do the rest. 



MONEY! MONEY!! MONEY!!! 

A good little bunch of money is in store for 
you, if you can quickly and cheaply pile on 20 to 
30 pounds of extra fat to each of your hogs, just 
before going to market. The buyers pay just as 
much for fat as for lean, and this extra fat has 
cost you almost nothing to put on. Gold coin 
Special Hog Fattener is prepared especially for 
that purpose. It prevents every possible waste, 
and uses up every kernel of grain they eat, allow- 
ing no waste, or undigested food to pass ofif in the 
ofifal. The digestion in the stomach and bowels is 
so stimulated and increased that everything is di- 
gested and turned into fat, and it gives a good 
finish to hogs, which is always attractive to buy- 
ers. If you have never used Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener, write to us and get a package or pail and

sense tells you it cannot be. If you want your 
hogs conditions bettered, get Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener and see how much better work it does 
than a hit-and-miss, for everything stock food. 
Feeding nowadays has been gotten down so 
scientifically that we feed Special Hog Fattener 
to hogs, their kind — Cattle Fattener to cattle and 
their kind. Poultry Food to Poultry and their 
kind, etc. Horses shouldn't be fed a fattener un- 
less, possibly, after an illness, or to help the con- 
dition powder to round out the animal and get a 
better figure, and then combine the cattle fattener 
with the condition powder in equal parts. The 
condition powder to give life and spirits to the 
animal and act as a tonic to the entire system, 
the fattener to fill up all hollow places, aid di- 
gestion and put a fine glossy finish to the coat. 

YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BE AN UNSCIEN- 
TIFIC FEEDER. 

When it is so easy to use a scientific food like 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener. It is sold on a guar- 
antee to bring you paying results, 



Feed <^Hog Fattener'' to 
Your Brood Sows. 

It will make them give more and richer milk. 
This will make the little pigs grow up more 
quickly and increase their health and vigor, thus 
allowing of earlier weaning. It keeps the sow 
stronger, too, and enables her to raise two litters 
of pigs each year, without danger to health. Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener can be fed to brood sows all 
the time, both before and after farrowing. It is 
the best and purest Hog Food in the world and 
we strongly advise its use for this purpose. It 
makes the little pigs extraordinary growers and 
they show the good influence of the feeding by 
developing enormous bodies and abundance of 
fat. Every 25-pound pail of "Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener" saves you ten to twelve dollars 
worth of corn. If you have one hog, or 1,000 
hogs, Gold Coin Hog Fattener will practically 
give you 50 per cent more profit than you ever 
made before. 

THE SECRET OF PROFIT IN HOGS LIES IN RAPID 
GROWTH AND FATTENING. 

Very often Fall Pigs turn out to be Runts. 
Runts usually mean a loss of money to a farmer. 
Because after two or three years of feeding, you 
may have nothing to shdw, or sell, for the feed 
eaten, and in case feed has been high priced, a 
g'ood deal of money is actually lost. In this rapid 
Age of Progression, pigs should be ready for 
market, weighing 175 to 350 pounds, in 6 to 9 
months, bringing their owners handsome profits. 

THEY EAT BUT~OON'T~GET FAT. 

Some animals eat a lot but don't lay on any 
fat. Others eat less and get fat, this because 
they digest all they eat. Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener does this. It is bound to make 15 to 25 
per cent.

SUMMER FATTENING. 

Summer and early fall are the BEST time to 
fatten; it's the cheapest. They make more rapid 
gain. Flesh is 80 per cent water, and during the 
summer and fall you can feed them lots of green 
stuflf, as clover, corn on the stalk, etc. The hogs 
will eat a great deal of the stalks. A little Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener given along with the feed will 
cause complete digestion of all they eat and lay 
it on their bones in fine pork. Feed the Fat- 
tener regularly and hurry the fattening along 
from spring to fall, so they will be ready for 
market. True economy lies in ' keeping hogs 
growing from the day of their birth till ready for 
market. Have your pigs come early so you 
can market them in the fall at six to eight 
months of age and you will make a larger per- 
centage of profit than carrying them over the 
winter. Young animals, being in a growing 
stage, convert more of their feed into flesh and 
fat than full grown animals. To shorten the fat- 
tening period means just that much more profit 
for you. Gold Coin Hog Fattener will not only 
shorten the fattening period, and save you 60 to 
120 days feeding, but it actually saves you feed. 
One bushel of corn fed without Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener will produce only six to eight pounds 
of pork, while if fed along with Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener it will produce 10 to 12 pounds and 
more. Gold Coin Hog Fattener is especially pre- 
pared for the purpose of fattening hogs, not for 
horses or cows. It is essentially a fat producer. 



FALL PIGS. 



Fall pigs are more likely to be runts. This is 
true if they have cold pens and no attention. is 
given to feeding. We, and thousands of swine- 
breeders, have proved that with reasonable care 
and by using Gold Coin Hog Fattener along with 
the feed you can keep your hogs growing in fine 
condition all through the winter. Then you will 
have fine, good-sized young hogs to turn into 
the pasture in early spring and they will be fine, 
big fellows by May or June. There is no use 
talking, Gold Coin Hog Fattener is the greatest 
money maker a stockraiser can have on his 
farm. It makes meat as nothing else can. Hogs 
fed on it simply have to thrive to their fullest 
extent. We guarantee it to put on from a half 
to one pound of flesh for every cent's worth of 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener used. We could not 
make this SPOT CASH GUARANTEE unless 
we knew from our own practical experience and 
the experience of thousands of farmers and stock 
raisers that it does save 15 to 25 per cent in feed, 
and many claim it increases their profits 50 per 
cent or more. Reader, those are the results o£ 
scientific feeding. Now you try Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener. Test it at our expense on our SPOT 
CASH GUARANTEE.

nothing, if it fails to bring you paying results, 
your money is refunded. 



GAINS ARE YOURS, LOSSES ARE OURS.

HOW TO MAKE GREAT 
PROFIT 

BY SUMMER FATTENING. 

You can double your profits and save half 
your feed and labor. 

If you fatten slowly and feed your pigs 10 to 
12 months and then sell them at a time when 
everybody else is selling off their pigs you will 
make very little profit. But commence fattening 
your little pigs early — feed them twice or three 
times a day on corn, clover and a measureful of 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener and you will have 250 to 
300-lb. pigs at 6 to 8 months. You have thus ac- 
complished in 6 months what it usually takes 
12 months to do — saving six months of feeding 
and risk. Isn't that good profit? You now have 
an open market, at high prices, and you have 
saved^ more than half, because young animals 
convert more of their food into flesh than older 
ones. That is the way to make big profits from 
summer fattening. Gold Coin Hog Fattener 
opens the way to you to do this. Will you stand 
idly by and let this golden opportunity slip 
through your fingers, or will you send at once 
for a pail (25 lbs., $2.00) of this marvelous "Hog 
Fattener" and begin doubling your yearly hog 
profits? With best wishes, we remain, 

Yours for increase of profits,

DISEASES OF SWINE— TREATMENT AND CURE. 

HOG DISEASES. 



When hogs get sick they die quickly unless 
they get prompt attention. The age of maturity 
is two years, but by "crowding" the feed we get 
them ready for market weighing 200 to 300 pounds 
at six to eight months. An animal crowded to 
growth in this short period of time must make 
the sweetest meat. From the day of birth pigs 
are urged to eat all they can without regard to the 
strength of their internal organs. Therefore you 
should feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener to aid the 
digestive organs, tone up the heart, liver and 
kidneys and thus make stronger constitutions, 
and your hogs will not be one-tenth so susceptible 
to Hog Cholera and other fatal diseases. Years of 
practical experience by ourselves and thousands 
of farmers prove these results. Not only does 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener build up strong constitu- 
tions and prevent disease, but it saves 15 to 25 
per cent in feed and time. These hogs have a 
fine finish and the meat is sweeter and tenderer. 
Your hogs will be the talk of your neighbor- 
hood. And you are making 15 to 25 per cent 
more money than your neighbor. 



COLDS, COUGHS. 

Hogs lose appetite, heave out flanks, cough. 
Keep pens dry. Gold Coin Hog Fattener gives 
strong constitutions and enables the hogs to 
stand exposure better. Feed 4 measurefuls twice 
a day in warm, soft food and they will be over 
the trouble in a few days.

HOG ERYSIPELAS. 

Red blotches appear on the ears, throat and 
front legs. The hogs get very sick, no appetite, 
vomit, constipated or may have diarrhoea. Hind 
quarters often become paralyzed. Hog Erysipe- 
las is very contagious and fatal. Therefore, re- 
move the apparently well hogs to new quarters 
at once and feed 4 measurefuls of Gold Medal 
Condition Powder to prevent or expel the disease 
if possible. Also add a teaspoonful of Gold Coin 
Germ Killer to each pail of water they drink. 
After handling the pigs and always after feeding 
the sick ones, never touch your hands to your 
face or head until you have thoroughly washed 
them in a solution made of two teaspoonfuls of 
Gold Coin Germ Killer to a quart of water to 
avoid getting the disease yourself. Everybody 
knows what a dreadful disease erysipelas is. 

TREATMENT FOR THE SICK HOGS. Dis- 
infect the pen thoroughly with Gold Coin Germ 
Killer, the best disinfectant, by adding four table- 
spoonfuls to a pail of water. Put a teaspoonful 
of the Germ Killer in each pail of water you give 
them to drink. Give 4 measurefuls of Gold Medal 
Condition Powders to each hog three times a day. 
If you have no Gold Medal Condition Powders, 
use the Gold Coin Hog or Cattle Fattener three 
times a day until you can get it. 

RHEUMATISM. 

Hogs, especially the weaker ones, will get 
rheumatism if the pens are damp and cold. When 
they have rheumatism they show lameness and 
tenderness in the afiflicted part. You should 
have no hogs with weak constitutions in your 
herd, and you will not have any if you feed the 
great bone, flesh and fat builder. Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener. Only costs one cent for five days to 
hogs and one cent for ten days for pigs, and is 
guaranteed to bring you a gain of 15 to 25 per 
cent or your money refunded if it fails. Test it

EPIZOOTIC. 

Malignant Catarrh, Sore Throat, Pneumonia, 
Fever. 

Fatal and dangerous diseases. Red blotches 
appear. The hogs breathe quickly and with diffi- 
culty. Coughing, fever, running from the nose. 
Mouth generally open and dry. There is consti- 
pation or diarrhoea. In diphtheria there is more 
or less false membrane. 

TREATMENT: These diseases are all due 
to germs, hence are easier to prevent than cure. 
Remove the apparently well hogs to new quar- 
ters and give them' preventive treatment, that is, 
stop feeding corn and give three measurefuls of 
Gold Medal Condition Powders three times a day 
and put a teaspoonful of Gold Coin Germ Killer 
in each pail of water they drink. Give plenty of 
water. If you have no Gold Medal Condition 
Powders on hand, use three measurefuls of Gold 
Coin Hcg or Cattle Fattener until you can get 
some Gold Medal Condition Powders. Disinfect 
the hog pens thoroughly with solution made of 
four tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Germ Killer to 
each pail of water. After attending the hogs 
always wash your hands well in solution made of 
two teaspoonfuls to a quart of water to prevent 
carrying the disease germs into the house. If 
your hogs have strong constitutions they are 
less liable to germ diseases. Hence all your herd, 
pigs and hogs, sows and boars, should be fed the 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener regularly. It not only 
fattens and gives fine, strong constitutions, but 
by doing this it prevents disease. Every pack- 
age is sold on a cash guarantee to do this. Feed 
it every day. It will save its small cost ten times 
over by the hogs it will save from disease, loss 
of fat during disease, and your worry. The 
profit in hog raising all hinges on the feeding, 
that is, to waste NO feed and get the most pork 
out of the feed. Every day your hogs are sick 
you lose that much fat, feed and time. You see, 
now, how it pays to feed Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener every day from the day of birth until mar- 



ket day. Not only to prevent disease, but Gold 
Coin Hog Food is guaranteed to increase your 
gain. 15 to 25 per cent. For regular feeding it 
costs you one cent for five days for hogs. Test it. 
You want well hogs all the time to have the best 
luck and make the most money. If Gold Coin 
Hog Fattener fails to bring paying results it 
won't cost you a cent. Write to us. 

MEASLES. 

Measly pork has small cysts about the size of 
a grain of wheat in the lean portion of the meat. 
The heat in cooking does not always destroy the 
micro-organs in the cysts, and if eaten unde- 
stroyed will cause tape-worm. This and eggs 
on lettuce and other garden vegetables are the 
cause of tape-worm in people. All vegetables 
that are eaten raw, should be Soaked in salt 
water a half hour before eating to kill the 'tape- 
worm eggs. Hogs fed daily on Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener will have no worms, nor other diseases. 
Not only the health of the consumer, but also the 
health of your hogs, which means better, larger 
growth and easier fattening, is assured by the 
daily use of Gold Coin Hog Fattener. Every 
raiser can afiford to use it, because paying results 
are guaranteed. 

AS FAIR AS ANY MAN COULD ASK. 

Gold Coin Hog Fattener is guaranteed to 
bring paying results. If it fails it won't cost 
you a cent, the price will be refunded. A fairer 
proposition could not even be asked for. We 
want to be fair. We know from practical ex- 
perience as stockmen that Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener contains the ingredients that stimulate and 
create fat production, and we want every stock 
raiser to save 15 to 50 per cent if he can. That 
is what we are selling this New Fattener for. 
Feed a measureful to each hog once a day and it 
is guaranteed to prevent diseases and through its 
power as a bone and flesh producer, makes 
growth to fatten in three-quarters the usual time.

TRICHINA. 

Trichina are corkscrew shaped germs about 
one-tenth inch long. They bore their way into 
the muscles (lean) and thus cause death. Every 
one has heard or read of the agonizing death 
from eating pork containing trichina. It is not 
safe to eat pork unless it has been thoroughly 
cooked. Ham should never be eaten raw. Trich- 
ina gets into the hogs through the eggs of 
worms. Gold Coin Hog Fattener keeps the hogs' 
systems clean from worms. It purifies the blood 
and produces healthful pork. It you raise hogs 
for your own use always use Gold Coin Hog 
Food and Fattener. Not only will you be as- 
sured of healthful pork bnt it is guaranteed to 
save you more than its cost to feed it. There- 
fore, it costs nothing to feed it and all stock 
raisers claim it saves 15 to 50 per cent. Write to 
us and test it on our guarantee. 



RED BLOTCHES. 



Red blotches on the skin is the common 
symptom of fever. Therefore, blotches usually 
appear in all contagious and inflammatory dis- 
eases. Gold Medal Condition Powders should be 
fed 4 measurefuls to each hog three times a day as 
soon as any blotches appear. If you had been 
feeding Gold Coin Hog Fattener regularly your 
hogs would have stronger constitutions and 
therefore more power of resistance to disease. 
Red blotches are also the leading symptoms in 
Hog Cholera, Hog Erysipelas, Diphtheria, and 
other dangerous and deadly contagious diseases. 
It is always wise therefore to immediately re- 
move the apparently well hogs to new quarters. 
Give them 4 measurefuls of Gold Coin Condition 
Food three times a day and add a teaspoonful of 
Gold Coin Germ Killer to each pail of water you 
give them to drink. If you haven't any Gold 
Medal Condition Powders, use Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener until you can get the Condition Pow- 
ders. This very inexpensive precaution may be 
the means of saving your entire herd. Give the 
Conditioner or Fattener at once when fewer 
blotches appear. BEWARE OF CHOLERA.

PHAGOCYTOSIS. 

How the Body (Blood)' Fights Diseases and 

Drives Them Out, 

For the benefit of those who have never 
studied diseases under the microscope we will 
give a short description of how the blood acts 
when the body is attacked by a "Germ Disease." 
This includes Hog Cholera and all other contagi- 
ous (or catcbing) diseases. Blood is red because 
it contains millions upon millions of small red 
partiples (finer than dust) called "Red blood cor- 
puscles." These red corpuscles have all to do with 
breathing, they carry the oxygen from the lungs 
to the dififerent parts of the body. The blood 
also has small white particles in it, a little larger 
than the red ones. They are called "White Cor- 
puscles." Thus we speak of the blood as posses- 
sing red and white corpuscles. The red are flat 
and the shape of a disc. The "White" are a 
shapeless mass, and are called Phagocytes 
(Phago — eat, and cytes — bodies), or "eating 
bodies." ~ Their purpose in the blood is to de- 
stroy all foreign matter they can that gets into 
the system and blood. In Hog Cholera, the 
cholera germ gets into the blood and if the pha- 
gocytes attack them quickly and effectively will 
ward off the disease and the hogs' life is saved, 
thanks to the phagocytes. In a good healthy 
condition, the blood should be so well supplied 
with phagocytes that any ordinary attack of 
cholera should be averted. But in some severe 
cases the healthiest of the healthy will die. 
Therefore, it can easily be seen that the best and 
only thing to be done is to keep the health of the 
animal at the highest possible point so as to keep 
the greatest possible number of phagocytes in the 
blood to combat disease germs. 

DISEASE GERMS, or microbes, are very 
small living bodies. They cannot be seen with 
the naked eye, they are so small. But hundreds 
of dififerent varieties have been discovered with 
the microscope. They gain entrance into the 
body in many ways and cause the disease after 
which they are named, as cholera germs, cause 
cholera, etc. It is believed by many scientists 
that all diseases have a germ cause. It was dis- 
covered by scientists that there are certain drugs 
that would kill germs outside of the body, and 
these drugs are called germicides, antiseptics and 
disinfectants. But if any germicide were taken 
or given internally strong enough to kill the 
germs in the system it would kill the patient ten 
times over. 

So, to sum up, we have learned from the dis- 
coveries of the scientists that there is ONLY 
ONE way to combat germ diseases — AND 
THAT IS TO BUILD UP THE SYSTEM, and 
make it so strong that it can resist the disease. 
"Gold Coin Special Hog Food and Fattener" is 
made for this particular purpose. It is made 
especially for hogs only. It keeps them at the 
highest standard of health all the time. By 
using it regularly it keeps the greatest possible 
number of phagocytes in the blood, makes the

flesh and bones strong and tones up the whole 
animal to the best point of vitality, thus PRE- 
VENTING CHOLERA, and all germ diseases. 
Prevention of germ diseases is easier than try- 
ing to cure them. From what is si id above you 
must see that there can be no positive cure. If 
the germs that have entered the hog grow faster 
than the phagocytes can kill them, death is sure 
to fqllow. What you must do, is PREVENT 
cholera. To PREVENT disease feed scientifi- 
cally, and to feed scientifically for prevention 
you must put something in the feed that gives 
the animal more healthiness than they get simply 
from the grain. Feed your hogs "Gold Coin 
Hog Food and Fattener," as it keeps the hogs up

CHOLERA. 



THE U. S. GOVERNMENT'S INTERESTING 
REPORT ON CHOLERA. 

Our government spent thousands of dollars 
making a thorough research on the subject of 
Hog Cholera. The commission's report was sub- 
stantially this: Hog cholera is a true specific 
germ disease. Contagious in character. Like 
many other germ diseases, there has yet been no 
remedy discovered which will kill the germs in 
the living body. If any of the germicides now 
known were taken into the system in sufficient 
strength to kill the germs it would destroy the 
life of the animal. Build up and strengthen the 
vitality of the animal, and it will prevent the 
germ from obtaining a foothold. Observe clean- 
liness and use disinfectants freel}^ 

Just such advice as that is what we have 
been giving the farmers and stockraisers for 
years. Being a germ disease we have always 
contended that Hog Cholera should be, handled 
just as physicians and scientists treat human 
bgings when they have germ diseases, that is 
build up their strength, increase their vitality and 
vigor, and do all that can be done to keep the 
blood pure and active. And as physicians do, 
give tonics to tone up the system of those who 
are exposed so that they will have the vitality 
to withstand the disease. And that is the very 
reason why "Gold Coin Special Hog Food and 
Fattener" has been so remarkably successful. It 
is a bodily tonic. It is the great blood purifier. 
Hogs kept on this wonderful Hog Food are 
practically insured against cholera. We guaran- 
tee that Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener will 
cure and prevent Hog Cholera by strengthening 
the vitality so the bodily health and phagocytes 
of the blood will throw oflf the disease. 



You want success with your swine. There- 
fore, you want Gold Coin Hog Fattener.

It kills quickly. You may lose all your hogs 
in a few days unless prompt and careful treat- 
ment is given. 

The very first signs of cholera are fever and 
shivering. Loss of appetite and great thirst. 
Red blotches appear and eventually the whole 
skin turns red and later to purple. First con- 
stipation, then diarrhoea, which becomes alarm- 
ing. Hog cholera is an awful thing. It must 
have prompt and thorough treatment. 



Big money only comes to successful raising, 
not by waste of feed and old-fashioned methods. 
Use our Gold Coin Hog Fattener and do scien- 
tific feeding. 



CARE OF THE APPARENTLY WELL HOGS. 

Put those hogs which seem to be well in 
new quarters. Feed them no corn, and put a tea- 
spoonful of Gold Coin Germ Killer (Disinfect- 
ant) in each pail of water or swill you give them. 
Give them all the clean water the-i^ want to drink. 
Keep their new quarters thoroughly disinfected 
by sprinkling with Gold Coin Germ Killer four 
tablespoonfuls to the bucket of water. Feed the 
hogs Gold Medal Condition Powders three table- 
spoonfuls three times a day. If you have no Gold 
Medal Condition Powders on hand use Gold Coin 
Hog or Cattle Fattener until you can get Gold 
Medal Condition Powders. Never go directly 
from the sick hogs to the well ones. Remember, 
the great thing in treating Cholera is to save your 
well hogs from getting it. Therefore, feed the 
Gold Medal Condition Powders religiously three 
tablespoonfuls a day, and put a teaspoonful of 
Gold Coin Germ Killer in each pail full of water 
to drink, and disinfect the Quarters thoroughly 
every day by sprinkling with Gold Coin Germ 
Killer, four tablespoonfuls to the bucket of water. 
As soon as any hog shows the first signs of the 
disease, that is, as chills or fever, and refuses to 
eat, take it out at once and treat thus: 

CARE OF THE SICK HOGS. On account 
of the frightful destructiveness of Cholera many 
raisers advocate immediate killing and burning 
of the sick ones, and destruction and burning of 
the pens and thorough disinfection of the 
ground. If you do not do this let the one who 
attends the sick hogs keep entirely away from 
the well ones. The hogs that will eat, give 5 
measurefuls (tablespoonfuls) of Gold Medal Con- 
dition Powders in each pail of slop or soft food. 
If you have no Gold Medal Condition Powders on 
hand use Gold Coin Hog or Cattle Fattener until 
you can get it. Put a teaspoonful of Gold Coin 
Germ Killer in each pail of water you give them 
to drink. Keep the pens thoroughly disinfected 
with Gold Coin Germ Killer, four tablespoonfuls 
to the bucket of water. As the disease is due to 
germs the best way to stamp out the disease is 
to destroy the germs by thorough disinfection 
and then keep the surroundings pure and to give 
Gold Medal Condition Powders to purify the 
blood. Keep the health at the highest standard 
so the system can throw off the germs and their 
toxins. 

Your fattest hogs are the most likely to get 
cholera first and die. Farmers, you can't afford 
to have cholera at all. It is far cheaper to feed

CARE OF SICK HOGS-CONTINUED. 

your hogs from the day of birth Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener. We know that a great many farmers 
will not do this, but nevertheless, they would be 
making money by following our advice. Not 
only will you prevent disease but your hogs will 
grow faster and be ready for market three to 
four months earlier, which means a saving of 15 
to 25 per cent. It gives them a finish, too, that 
makes them attractive and assures wholesome 
pork. We guarantee that regular feeding of 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener will more than save in 
feed what it costs you and will bring you 15 to 
85 per cent more in increased pork production. 
All we ask is that you give it a fair and honest 
test. It is sold on a SPOT CASH GUARAN-

IS GHOLERA IN YGUR 
NEIGHBGRHGGO. 

If you have not been feeding Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener, and cholera appears in your neighbor- 
hood, look out. You may be too late. Your 
only hope is to begin to use Gold Medal Condi- 
tion Powders at once, and allow no man or beast 
to get near your herd that has been visiting 
your neighbor's cholera stricken hogs. And 
don't you or your family go visiting that un- 
fortunate neighbor. Show him your sympathy 
by loaning him this book and advise him to fight 
it and stamp it out of the district as quickly as 
he can. Feed your own pigs two measurefuls of 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener three times a day as 
long as the disease is in the neighborhood. "An 
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." 



HGW IT HAPPENS THAT 
GHGLERA KILLS SG MANY 
IN EAGH HERO BEFORE IT 
GAN BE STOPPEO. 

When cholera gets into a herd it usually 
kills one-half to three-quarters or all. The rea- 
son for this is that most farmers don't begin 
doing anything until the disease appears in their 
herd or in their neighborhood. Of course in 
these cases the only thing to do is to begin the 
feeding of Gold Medal Condition Powders and 
keep the pens thoroughly disinfected with Gold 
Coin Germ Killer (Disinfectant), four tablespoon- 
fuls to the bucket of water. Had you been feed- 
ing Gold Coin Hog Fattener for 60 days or more 
there would be very little danger. But if you wait 
until the disease gets into your neighborhood be- 
fore you will use Gold Coin Hog Fattener you 
must not expect such good results as if you had 
been using it right along. Farmers, it pays to 
use Gold Coin Hog Fattener right along the year 
around. It prevents the danger of loss by diseases 
and your hogs are 15 to 25 per cent ahead 'of 
hogs that don't use it. 



Hog Cholera is Carried. 

Cholera is carried like smallpox and it is just 
as bad. The germs are carried in clothes. They 
are blown for miles by the wind, carried by birds, 
by dogs, cats, fowls, water in a stream, etc. If a 
creek runs through your hog yard and a neighbor 
up the stream has cholera remove your hogs at 
once and use no more of that water for any pur- 
pose on the farm. Hogs die so easily from 
disease, because, in the old methods of fattening 
the constitution is weakened. That is why Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener fed regularly from birth up 
gives them stronger constitution to withstand 
disease, and also makes them fatten easier. 



CHOLERA COSTS MILLIONS A YEAR. 

Millions of dollars are lost every year by Hog 
Cholera, because raisers do not take steps to 
prevent it in time. The time to begin preven- 
tion is with the pregnant sow and then with the 
pigs as soon as they eat by feeding Gold Coin 
Hog Fattener every day. Not only is the disease 
prevented, but it makes better bone and flesh, 
quicker growth and easier fattening, and makes 
the pig ready for market 2 or 3 months earlier. 
We guarantee the Fattener to save you in clear 
profits 15 to 25 per cent, or price refunded if it 
fails. Test it on this guarantee. 



PURELY VEGETABLE. 

Gold Medal Condition Powders and Gold Coin 
Hog Fattener are made up of nure vegetable med- 
icines. Therein lies the result of their marvelous 
success in curing. The medicine used is of the 
best quality and of proper freshness and strength. 
Therefore, don't be misled into buying cheaper 
foods which require larger doses. It is the qual- 
ity of a medicine that acts. You want quality not 
quantity. Gold Coin Fatteners are the Best and 
cheapest, because they go the farthest. 6 feeds 
for one cent for hogs and cattle, and 4 feeds for 
one cent for horses. 



50,000,000 POUNDS DIS- 
INFECTANT. 

That Gold Coin Germ Killer (Disinfectant) is 
the best on the market cannot be better demon- 
strated than by its enormous sale. Farmers and 
stockmen use it in preference to all others, be- 
cause it is stronger and goes farther. A 50-cent 
can makes 50 gallons of Disinfecting solution. 



CHOLERA TIMES. 



Gold Coin Hog Fattener is the only ex- 
clusive hog fattener on the market today. 



In the cholera season, and in no other season 
should the farmer be without Gold Coin Germ 
Killer (Disinfectant). It destroys all kinds of 
germs. It should be used for all disinfecting pur- 
poses on the farm. It is the cheapest, because it 
is the strongest and goes the farthest. Only 50 
cents for 50 gallons. 

Make all the money you possibly can out of 
your hogs. Gold Coin Hog Fattener is guar- 
anteed to make you 15 to 25 per cent extra money.

SORE MOUTHS IN SUCKLERS. 

Infectious Sore Mouth may occur any time 
from birth to six weeks old. Large water blis- 
ters appear around the lips and snout. Deep 
cracks and scabs extend over the face and head, 
and in very bad cases even to the body and limbs, 
the joints later getting much swollen and in- 
flamed. Ulcers form about the mouth and javirs, 
eating the flesh from the bones. 

TREATMENT. Treatment must be prompt 
and thorough. Add two tablespoonfuls of Gold 
Coin Germ Killer (Disinfectant) to a pail of 
warm water. The young pigs should be dipped head 
foremost into the solution for a few seconds. 
Give a breathing spell and repeat for another 5 
seconds. In the severe cases where ulcers have 
formed about the jaws remove the dead and loose 
flesh before dipping. After dipping always apply 
Gold Coin Healing Salve. Put the sow and pigs 
in new quarters and don't farrow any more sows 
in the old pen. The sow's udder should be bathed 
freely with the solution every day. Feed the 
sows two measurefuls of Gold Medal Condition 
Powders twice a day until the pigs are well. If 
you have no Gold Medal Condition Powders on 
hand, use a measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fat- 
tener in soft feed twice a day until you can get 
the Gold Medal Condition Powders. You should 
always have the Condition Powders on hand to 
give when any diseases arise among your stock. 
If you feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener to the sow 
before farrowing the pigs will have stronger con- 
stitutions. They will also grow faster and on 
account of their good bone and vigorous health 
will make better hogs, able to carry a large 
quantity of flesh and fat with less liabilities to 
disease. To carry lots of fat they must have 
good health. Gold Coin Hog Fattener is guaran- 
teed to promote good health and make you an in- 
crease of 15 to 25 per cent profit. If it fails to 
bring you paying results by its use, it will cost 
you nothing. Here is a chance for you to test 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener on its basis as a money- 
saver to you. 

There is money in healthy hogs, not in sick 
ones. Keep them all well and strong with Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener. 

Pure bred swine breeders claim that Gold 
Coin Hog Fattener is their banner of successl. 



STAGGERS-APOPLEXY. 



This occurs in the over-fat and improperly fed 
hogs, that is too much fat on weak constitutions. 
The hog falls over, becomes stupid and soon 
dies. If you notice your fat hogs staggering 
about, stop feeding corn. Give Gold Medal Con- 
dition Powders three times a day, 4 measurefuls 
at a dose. Give plenty of water to drink and feed 
soft feeds. It pays to use Gold Coin Hog Fat- 
tener from the time the pigs are young so they 
will grow up with strong constitutions and be 
able to carry their flesh and fat. It is cheap 
when it saves you loss of hogs, through death 
and loss of fat through disease. It only costs 
one cent for five days and is guaranteed to in- 
crease your gain 15 to 25 per cent. The suc- 
cessful farmer is the one who makes the most 
money. The 15 to 25 per cent you save by feed- 
ing Gold Coin Hog Fattener makes you that 
much more successful than your "behind-the- 
times" neighbor. 



WORMS. 



The harm that worms can do in hogs is 
alarming. There may be partial paralysis of the 
hind legs. The hogs do not thrive as they 
ought. They look ugly. If any of your hogs are 
not thriving, test them for worms. Give each 
one measureful of Gold Coin Worm Powders and 
use three measures of Gold Coin Hog Fattener 
three times a day for four days, to each afflicted 
hog. If the hogs have worms you will find the 
worms all over the hog yard after a few days of 
this treatment. You should have Gold Coin 
Worm Powders c-n hand all the time for your 
horses, cattle and sheep as well as hogs. It will 
surely expel all worms if used as directed above. 
The Hog Fattener should always be fed twice 
a day to prevent worms and other diseases. It is 
the cheapest stock food, because it is the best and 
goes the farthest. It not only keeps the hogs 
free from worms, but it is guaranteed to increase 
your profit 15 to 25 per cent. Test it on our 
guarantee.

) ABSOLUTE CURE OF HOG 
) CHOLERA 

is not possible, says the great agricultural scien- 
tist, author and practical stockman. 

We receive many letters from farmers and 
swine raisers asking if Gold Coin Hog Food and 
Fattener is an absolute cure for Hog Cholera. 
While we have had testimonials from swine 
raisers all over the country saying that it is an 
absolute cure, yet we do not ourselves claim it 
to be as sure a cure as Gold Medal Condition 
Powders. Cholera is such a frightful plague, it 
works such terrible havoc that no raiser can 
afford to tempt it by carelessly letting his hogs 
grow up without the scientific Gold Coin Food 
as preventive and constitutional strengthener. 
Reader, you are intelligent enough to know that 
hogs which have weakly constitutions could not 
get well from Hog Cholera even though the best 
treatment in the world was given them. They 
haven't got the vitality. Their poor constitu- 
tions, nine times out of ten, is the raisers' fault. 
He was too careless to do scientific feeding with 
Gold Coin Hog Fattener and give his hogs good, 
strong constitutions. Hog Cholera is such a 
deadly and expensive plague that the small cost 
(one cent for ten days) of Gold Coin Hog Food 
and Fattener is cheap, to say nothing of the 
great cash gains of 15 to 25 per cent which is 
guaranteed by its regular use. Being made, as 
it is, of purely vegetable medical ingredients it 
is far superior to other stock foods and old 
fashioned condition powders. As regards supe- 
rior medication, ten pounds of Gold Coin Hog 
Fattener contains more medical strength and 
curative power than fifty to a hundred pounds of 
inferior stock foods. 

It pays you to buy the best medical food, 
especially when it is the cheapest. Gold Coin 
Fattener — six feeds for one cent — is the best 
known hog disease preventive and the greatest 
fattener ever discovered. No fairer offer can be 
made to any stockraiser than to guarantee paying 
results. You surely cannot lose, and you are 
bound to make money from its use. Test it on a 
SPOT CASH GUARANTEE.

HOW MORE MONEY 

Can be made from Nurses by Scientific Feeding. 



The scientific feeding and breeding of horse? has reached that stage of perfection now, that the horse- 
raiser who does NOT use a horse tonic of some kind to tone up and strengthen his horses, will NOT make 
the success that the more up-to-date horsemen do, who are using "Gold Coin Horse Tonic." It is action, 
style, speed, endurance and health that count when selling horses. That is just where "Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic" counts, it puts spirit, energy and power in horses that makes them sell for 50% more. Also it saves 
oats and grain. It does this by aiding and increasing digestion. The horse gets more good out of the food 
eaten, and therefore does not require as much feed. 15 to 25% of feed is saved in this way, and "Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic" being fed in small doses costs almost nothing. We guarantee big results when used as directed. 



The conditions that led to the high price of 
horses in 1903 are easily understood. Prior to 
1896 there had been a pretty constant demand for 
horses of all kinds, but about that time, or per- 
haps, a few years earlier, there came about a 
general scare that the day of the horse was 
over. Some alarmists declared that electric 
motive power would surely push the horse out of 
use and out of the market. Events since that time 
have shown how falsely these prophets foretold. 
Nevertheless, a change has come about and a 
weeding out process was found necessary. As 
electric power spread for traction purposes thou- 
sands upon thousands of horses were thrown upon 
the market. Almost without exception these were 
mongrel bred, though good enough to pull street 
cars, and do other city services, from which they 
were displaced. 

Mongrel horses, therefore, had a market before 
this era, and farmers bred from any old kind of a 
sire, up to perhaps 1898. Then came a sudden 
stoppage. No more horses were bred outside of 
blooded stock. In 1901 there began to be an 
improvement in the horse market and in 1903 
horses were in great demand. 

The lesson to be drawn from these facts is 
plain. There is always a steady demand for good 
horses at good prices. 

The time will never come when the farmer 
who has a good horse to sell cannot get a fair 
price for him. 

Farmers raise various kinds of horses, but get 
the most profit out of heavy draft horses; next 
in profit-bringing is the road horse and next the 
coach horse. The general farmer cannot make 
money raising fancy trotting stock. Even in 
coach hdrses the middleman makes the most. He 



trains and gives the education without which the 
coach horse is almost worthless as such, and for 
that education he secures triple the first cost of 
the animal, though he must have a properly bred 
horse to start on. 

To the specialist or large breeder of fancy 
stock, of course, money comes which the general 
farmer cannot get. The specialist has trainers 
and jockeys to bring out the valuable features of 
his special breeds and make them desirable in 
the market. The main point is to keep your 
horses of every kind in perfect health, and here 
the general farmer will do well to imitate the 
specialist and feed his horses on Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic. 

And here it will be opportune to say a word 
about the Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It is a food and 
medicine. In other words, while it should be 
given to sick horses to make them well, it is 
most important to feed it constantly to the well 
horses to keep them well, and in good condition. 
The ordinary so-called "condition powders" are 
made up of strychnine, arsenic, and drugs of vari- 
ous kinds, and while they stimulate for a time, 
do no permanent good and you would not care 
to give it regularly. 

Gold Coin Horse Tonic keeps your horses 
well; wards off disease; stimulates digestion;, 
keeps th'e kidneys clear and free; the bowels reg- 
ular; the blood cool and free from fever; the 
nerves quiet and the disposition even and gen- 
tle. Stallions stand better and with less exhaus- 
tion under the use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, 
while mares foal better and stronger and more 
fully developed colts and breed much more cer- 
tainly and easily.

THOROUGHBRED HORSES. «» 

Great attention has been paid ever since horse 
racing began in England to the breeding of a fam- 
ily of horses that could run fast, jump high and 
far, and last long. The beginning was made 
with the Arabian horse which has been bred for 
centuries as the friend and companion of man, 
more valued than his wives, and was trained to be 
fleeter than the sand storm of the desert. The 
English thoroughbred is a larger, rangier, and 
more rtiuscular horse than the Arab or barb, but 
still preserving the aristocratic qualities of the 
imported animals. Among the sporting elements 
of society the thoroughbred horse covers a large 
part of the horizon of daily life, and racing of 
thoroughbreds is a national pastime over which 
the whole English people, from the king down, 
become as excited as they would OA'-er a foreign 
war. Since the introduction of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic into England the appearance of many a 
thoroughbred has been improved by its use and 
many a race has been won by Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic fed horses. They have greater strength 
and at the same time little or no sickness among 
them. It is not at all remarkable that Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic can be fed with such uniformly 
excellent effects in thoroughbreds because the 
same rule holds here as with other horses, name- 
ly, the better bred the horse the better results 
from feeding Gold Coin Horse Tonic. Like- 
wise systematic feeding of the worst scrubs gives 
them a degree of health and nerve force that 
makes them look like good horses. 

(Description of Breeds Continued on next page.) 



VALUE OF SIRES. 

The value of a fine blooded stallion is lost if 
he proves sterile. The owner of a stallion that is 
not a sure foal getter, has a white elephant on his 
hands. Farmers pay only for results and if you 
want your stallion to be vigorous and a sure foal 
getter all the time you must supply him with those 
elements in his food which he cannot otherwise 
secure and which are consumed largely by his wild 
brother in the spring when he is serving, and you 
can do this by feeding regularly Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic. Moreover, it is a safe food to give since 
there are never any bad after effects such as 
follow the use of stimulating drugs. Remember 
it is a food and the cheapest food, 15 cents a 
month, four feeds for one cent, and brings returns 
out of all proportion to its cost. 

FEEDING COLTS IN WINTER. 

Don't let your colts stop growing in winter. 
Feed them regularly on Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
all winter, keep them in a warm place and they 
will grow all winter long just the same as thoueh 
they were in a pasture. Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
supplies the necessary elements to the blood for 
giving proper growth and development of the 
body. You cannot aflford to raise colts unless 
you use Gold Coin Horse Tonic to help increase 
their growth. Write us direct if you wish a sup- 
ply at once. ^^_ 

A dose of our Heave Cure, mixed with a 
measureful of Gold Coin Horse Tonic and fed to 
your "heavey" horse will enable him to do as 
much work as an ordinary well horse.

HAMBELTONIAN HORSES. 

The straight neck, square head and strong, 
straight limbs that tell of speed in every line, 
make the picture of the modern fast horse. He 
is not so handsome in curves and haughtiness of 
bearing as his Arabian ancestors, but he gets 
there just the same. The list is long of the dif- 
ferent breeds of trotting horses, but the differ- 
ences are chiefly in the name. They all come from 
imported Messenger, Bellfounder and Rysdyk's 
Hambletonian; the latter himself the direct de- 
scendant of Imported Messenger. And the pedi- 
grees are interwoven so that while some have a 
little more of this blood and others have the same 
strains, in different proportions, they are all de- 
scendants of Rysdyk's Hambletonian and through 
him of Imported Messenger. Messenger's blood 
comes down also through side lines to our pres- 
ent trotters, so that whether Mambrino, Bashaws, 
Blue Bulls, Clays, Morgans, Hambletonians, 
Blackhawks Pilots, American Stars or others, 
they are practically all related and all of the 
blood royal, and look back to Imported Messen- 
ger as the human family look back to Adam. 

But whether of the one or the other strain, it 
is in these aristocrats of the horse world that 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic shows its value. The 
better the blood the better the results, and if 
you have a horse with speed in him Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic will bring it out by putting him 
into the pink of condition and make him strong, 
enduring and fast. Breeders know this already, 
or at least, those of any prominence, and it will 
pay the general farmer well to follow the methods 
of these great breeders and if you have any trot- 
ting horses begin at once to feed them the cheap- 
est and best of health foods, Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic. 



BREAKING COLTS. 

In handling a horse always treat him kindly. 
It is simply a business proposition, and no senti- 
ment need enter into the problem at all, although 
the man is indeed a hard-hearted man who does 
not feel kindliness and affection for so faithful a 
friend and companion as the horse has proved 
himself to be. It will pay you to be kind to your 
horses. 

Handle your colts every day; rub them; talk 
to them; after they are weaned give them Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic from their third or fourth 
week. 

Don't try to "break" your colts, only teach 
them. Your colts may be spoiled and made balky 
by rough training. Colts should be handled early 
and gotten used to the halter. Train them to the 
harness and bit pradually. 

Such a colt fed from the first on Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic to keep his nerves steady and his 
temper even and his body vigorous, will be a good 
horse and a willing worker all his life long and 
what is more important to the breeder, he will 
put double the money in your pocket when you 
sell him. Be kind to your colts, speak in a low, 
firm voice, and feed them Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
and you will make a record with your horse rais- 
ing that can onlv be beaten by the man tliat does 
exactly the same thing.

PROGRESS. 

This is an age of great advance. Machinery 
used twenty-five years ago is no good to day. 
The old Manny reaper, the self rake, Marsh har- 
vester were all great things in their day and an 
advance over the sickle and cradle, but the up-to- 
date farmer uses a self-binder because it is the 
best. Progress has also been made in the feeding 
of horses and the up to-date farmer feeds Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic for the very same reasons 
that he uses a self-binder. In both cases it is the 
most economical; it saves money by saving grain; 
it is scientific; it is reasonable and in accord with 
modern methods. If you have investigated the 
subject you know that any breed of animals kept 
in domestication for many generations acquire 
certain new characteristics; some of these are 
advantageous, but others are not. For instance, 
there is greater liability to disease among domes- 
tic animals, and this is largely because their diges- 
tive organs become weakened. To overcome this 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic has been invented. 

Gold Coin Horse Tonic is, however, not mere- 
ly a medicine in the ordinary sense, though there 
are no medicines better than this, because it is 
also a food which supplies elements not accessi- 
ble to horses in the ordinary feeds given them. 
Besides Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not an ex- 
pensive food. It is within the reach of all. 15 
cents a month provides enough for each horse 
and keeps him in that perfect vigor, which char- 
acterizes the well bred horse. It overcomes all 
the bad effects which civilization and domestica- 
tion have forced upon horses.

A FEW POINTERS FOR HORSEMEN. 

To break up pneumonia in the start, there is 
nothing so good as Gold Medal Condition Pow- 
ders. Always break up pneumonia in the start, 
because it is almost sure death if neglected too 
long. 

Horses fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic can 
stand the cold better in winter — their constitu- 
tions are stronger. All draft horses should be 
fed Gold Coin Horse Tonic without fail. Every 
horse should have it. 



A great many of horse's ills are due to the 
liver. Gold Horse Tonic has special action on 
the liver. 

Head erect, clear eye, quick ear, springy step, 
these come from the use of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic. It makes perfect digestion and condition. 

New life is infused into a horse when given 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 



Don't overlook the trifling (?) symptoms of 
your horse being "off feed." It may end in colic 
if you don't do something for it. Remember, 
colic kills in from 1 to 5 hours. Use Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic — it will prevent colic. 

Always do something at once if your horse 
is not just right. A dose of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic may break up a dangerous disease and save 
you a valuable animal. 

Gold Coin Horse Tonic will break up a cold 
or stop epizootic from turning pneumonia. 

Half your work in cleaning is saved by using 
Gold Horse Tonic. It makes the coat smooth 
and shiny. Keep your horse in perfect health.

Typical Well Trained Trotter, and Racing Sulky. 



TROTTING HORSES. 

However speedy a horse is by breeding and 
training, he will never win a race unless he is 
properly fed. His flesh should be firm and cool, 
and be worked onto his frame by constant exer- 
cise. It doesn't do to merely fatten a trotting 
horse nor to keep him looking well fed and 
smooth. He should be as hard as nails and 
every ounce of flesh on him should be strong, 
useful muscle. Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a 
regular feed with his daily food will assure the 
owner a trotting horse with muscles like steel 
springs; inexhaustible bottom; good will and the 
nerve, style and action that come only with abso- 
lutely flawless health. 

Kindness in teaching horses is necessary. We 
have said little about it because it has come to be 
so generally recognized as a necessity in the rais- 
ing and using of all kinds of horses. 

Every trotting horse has Arabian blood in his 
veins. The breed began with Imported Messen- 
ger, sire of Mambrino, sire of poor old Abdallah, 
who died of starvation and neglect, but not before 
he in turn had sired Rysdyk's Hambletonian 10 
the greatest and most famous of all sires. From 
this latter horse have sprung all the great strains 
of trotters in America today. These strains have 
been bred and interbred as near as was safe until 
in the tangle of pedigrees almost every fast horse 
is a blood relation to almost all the others. The 
result is that a race of horses has developed in 
this country that for the past forty years, has 
year after year, been whittling down the trotting 
time-records, till today the horse that clips an 
eighth of a second off some great record, becomes 
famous the world over. All trotting records are 
held by American horses and have been for more 
than half a century. 



No trotting horse today is ever tried against 
time until he has been trained for it long and 
patiently and by progressive, up-to-date trainers, 
his diet made to include Gold Coin Horse Tonic, 
for it is only by getting him into the pink of con- 
dition that a record breaker can be made of him. 
There is no horse food made that can compare 
with Gold Coin Horse Tonic in nutrient value, 
remedial virtues, disease preventing qualities and 
in cheapness. If you own or train trotting horses 
do not race them without bringing them to per- 
fection on Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and if you 
are breeding them, the extra gain made from a 
single horse, will pay for all the Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic you can use for many a long year. At so 
small an outlay no horseman can afford to miss 
the chance of getting in line with other horsemen 
and using Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 



DIGESTION AND INDIGESTION. 

Some horses eat a great deal and yet they 
never get fat. Others only eat a small quantity 
and yet are always fat. Every educated farmer 
now-a-days knows just why this is. If the diges- 
tion is poor, of course the animal cannot get fat, 
as the food passes through without doing any 
good. If you have any horses in this condition, 
try Gold Coin Horse Tonic on them. It will 
make a wonderful change. From a thin, hide- 
bound, unthrifty animal he will rapidly become 
fat, round and plump. This is all done by scien- 
tific feeding. Gold Coin Horse Tonic does it 
simply because it cJ-eates digestion and gives the 
animal the benefit of all it eats.

SHOES. 



Shoes are used to protect the hoofs of horses; 
to give them a better foot-hold when roads are 
slippery and sometimes to increase speed. Shoes 
should always be comfortable and fit as well as a 
man's shoes. The size and weight depend on the 
horse and what he does. 

In fitting a shoe do not let an incompetent 
shoer make the mistake of fitting the hoof to the 
shoe. The horney part of the hoof necessarily 
needs to be trimmed down at times because the 
wearing of shoes prevents the hoof wearing off 
naturally, but the frog of the foot should be 
practically let alone so far as the knife is concern- 
ed, and the frog should always come down far 
enough so as to strike the ground. It is the 
cushion nature designed to take the jar off when 
the foot strikes the ground. The horney part of 
the hoof should be trimmed off with this in view 
and also so that the weight of the horse can be 
evenly and squarely distributed over the shoe and 
on the ground. Horses fed on Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic almost always have healthy, tough, firm 
hoofs, because it keeps them in perfect condition 
all over and supplies the required elements of 
nutrition to the hoofs as to all other parts of 
the body. 

GOLD COIN GALL CURE. 

It cures galls and harness sores while your 
horses are working — it cures in half the time 
other salves or powders do. Use no other than 
Gold Coin Gall Cure. It is the safest and cheap- 
est; 25 and 50 cents a box. 



MAKE A TEST ON OUR SPOT GASH 
GUARANTEE. 

You take no risk in testing Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic as a food and medicine. Take 2 to 10 or 
more head pi horses and colts and place them in 
separate lots. Give the same feed to each lot, 
except give the one lot Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
and none to the other lot. Use it for 60 to 90 
days and then note the change in health, strength 
and condition, and the saving in grain. If the lot 
on which the Gold Coin Horse Tonic was used 
does not show a paying gain, your money will be 
refunded. IF IT DOES SHOW A GAIN YOU 
WANT IT. IT'S MAKING MONEY FOR 
YOU. YOU ARE MAKING MORE MONEY 
THAN YOUR NEIGHBOR WHO DOESN'T 
USE IT. If you have faith in improved breeding 
or labor saving machinery, you must have faith in 
a feed-saving scientific preparation like Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic that makes perfect digestion and 
rapid growth. A fair, practical test will prove 
that horses can be fattened in less time and with 
less feed than is usually used. No fairer offer 
can be made. Test it yourself on our Spot Cash 
Guarantee. You get the profits if it wins, and 
we stand the loss if it loses. Write us to-day.

IT WINS RACES. 

RUNNERS, PACERS, TROTTERS. 

There is no place where Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic has been put to the test so strongly as at 
the race track. It has surprised many a horse- 
man. Gold Coin Horse Tonic gives a hard- 
ness and spring to the muscle that is just what 
the race horse needs. In fact, no horse should 
be over fat, because too much fat prevents free 
action. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not a fattener. 
If real fattening is wanted, give a half measureful 
of Gold Coin Horse Tonic and a half measureful 
of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, and you can fatten 
anything with it. 

The race horse wants strong, solid, quick 
muscles. He wants to be in perfect health all 
the time. Gold Coin Horse Tonic has become the 
great favorite of the track-men because it gives all 
these qualities. There is more Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic fed to race horses than any other tonic 
known. It puts that "go" and speed in the horse 
which shows that every eflFort of the animal is 
being used. Being a purely vegetable tonic and a 
food, it gives permanent energy to the muscles, 
that becomes endurance. They can get up a good 
speed and keep it up. That is usually what wins 
the race. It is the cheapest and best conditioner 



a trainer can give regularly to a string of racers. 
It simply has no equal as a special tonic for a 
horse at the race track. If you own racers and 
want to see your horses do their best, put them 
on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. We will guaran- 
tee greater speed and endurance. It also keeps 
the horse in a healthy condition so that there 
will be less liability of his giving out from dis- 
ease. If you have never used Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic on your racers, write us direct and test it 
on our guarantee. We would like to see your 
horses win and if we can help you, we will be 
glad to do so, write us. 



"OFF-FEED." 

If you have any animals on your farm that 
are "off-feed" or run down, you can always de- 
pend on it that the trouble is indigestion, and 
what they need is Gold Coin Stock Food. Write 
us direct if you have never used it, and we will be 
glad to let you test it on our Spot Cash Guarantee. 

Use Gold Coin Worm Powder, and buy no 
other. It is the safest remedy for worms and bots. 

FEVER IN HOOFS: Make a thick paste by 
mixing Gold Coin Foot Remedy with bran. Use 
this every day until soreness sind fever are gone.

POINTERS FOR HORSEMEN. 

If you are a general farmer and have any 
trotting stock it will pay you well to follow the 
method of the big trainers and begin feeding 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It makes them healthy 
and fast. 

At so small a cost no horseman can afford to 
miss the chances of getting in line with other 
progressive, up-to-date horsemen by using Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. 



A point to remember is that horses will do 
BETTER on 25 per cent less oats when fed on 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic, than they actually need 
when not getting Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 

Of course, you feed less grain when your 
horses are not at work, but feed them enough, 
and Geld Coin Horse Tonic will keep them fat 
and in good health. 

On Gold Coin Horse Tonic you need not 
feed so much grain, and in the spring your 
horses come out fat, vigorous and fit for work. 



For horse kicks and other injuries use Gold 
Coin Healing Oil. 

For hooks, bunts and horn injiu-ies apply Gold 
Coin Healing Oil.

ABOUT CALLING A VETERINARY. 

In every locality there are some very honor- 
able and praise-worthy Veterinary Surgeons, men 
whose integrity and ability are an honor to any 
community. The services of such men should 
should always be summoned in time of need. 
We have stated all through this book that the 
employment of a reliable Veterinary surgeon is 
necessary in a great many cases. Veterinary 
Surgeons of this high standard never say anything 
against first class preparations put up in con- 
venient form for easy use by farmers and stock- 
men. They do not cast slurs against "digestive 
■foods" such as the Gold Coin Fattening Foods, 
because they know their profit-making value for 
farmers. And they are always glad to see a 
farmer make money. But there are dishonest, 
swelled-headed, ignorant, uneducated men who 
never deserve the title V. S. from friends or 
enemies. They are liable to say "things against 
any preparation that they do not make themselves, 
no matter how good it is, just because they want 
you to call them so they will get a chance to 
charge you a big fee. Look out for such men, 
and if you ever hear a Veterinary denounce our 
"Foods" or goods you can put him down as one 
belonging to the latter class, and not the kind 
of a man it would pay you to employ. Thou- 
sands of good Veterinary Surgeons all over the 
country are indorsing Gold Coin Fattening Foods, 
and advising the use of our handy remedies. 



Hundreds prescribe our "Colic Cure" and "Heal- 
ing Oil" almost daily, and are glad to be number- 
ed among friends of the largest "Fattening Food 
Co" in the world. We cordially invite all Ve- 
terinary Surgeons or stockmen of a Veterinary 
turn of mind to send us description of any pe- 
culiar puzzling cases, for registration in our 
Veterinary Department. 

DON'T TAKE IMITATIONS. 

If any dealer tries to sell you something "just 
as good," don't take it. Let the dealer know that 
you are not a fool to be led into buying any- 
thing he "Talks up." If he once sees that you are 
"easy" he will work the same trick on you in 
other ways. When you ask for "Gold Coin 
Stock Foods" or any of our Special Remedies 
insist on having no other, because no other has the 
same reliable cash guarantee on them that makes 
it siure you get your money back if it fails 
to bring paying results.. .And other cheaper pre- 
parations cannot contain the valuable ingredients 
that ours do. We offer $5000 if any poisonous 
or injurious drug is contained in our foods. We 
want to see you make money and we have put 
ingredients of the best quality in our Foods, so 
that we can guarantee them to make extra money 
for you.

PROFITABLE FEEDING. 

Very few men outside of the leisure class can 
afford to keep horses solely for pleasure, though 
the poor man who has only one horse may justly 
be as proud of him and take probably more real 
interest in him than any millionaire who hires 
grooms and hostlers by the score to care for 
horses, he could not recognize his own if he saw 
them in a strange stable. The grooms and host- 
lers are the ones who get the real pleasure out of 
these horses of the rich and are their real masters 
and companions. There are of course many of 
the very rich who take an intelligent interest in 
their own horses and find a genuine delight in 
being with them, and to these men, as well as to 
the grooms and hostlers and especially to breeders, 
farmers and horse owners in general the subject 
of feeding is one of great interest. Profitable 
feeding is cheap feeding. 

The sooner you make use of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic as a regular thing, the sooner you can 
discover that you can save a large percentage of 
the amounts of grain usually fed. In another 
place we have given you the figures of a hypothet- 
ical 30 days' test which is based on experience and 
any horseman, breeder or farmer who desires to 
get the greatest amount of work out of his horses 
on the smallest consumption of food and at the 
same time have them always in shape for the best 
prices in the open market can do no better than 
adopt the use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic forth- 
with and make it a rule of his stables that his 
horses must be fed on this truly great medicated 
food. It is absolutely free from any and all 
strong or hurtful drugs and contains only those 
natural seeds, herbs, barks and roots which horses 



by McLaughlin Bros., Columbus, O. 

in their native wild state get for themselves and 
in domestication are deprived of. It supplies 
those elements which permit the wild horse to 
keep in good condition the year around and at 
the same time when his pasturage is scanty and 
widely scattered. 

POINTERS FOR HORSEMEN. 

If your horse is "soft" feed him Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. It makes solid muscles and strong 
nerves.

the digestion perfect. 

Good digestion makes good temper and gentle 
manners. Use Gold Coin Horse Tonic to make 
perfect digestion. 

A sleek, shiny coat indicates a good diges- 
tion, that is health. That is how Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic acts. 

If improperly fed or cared for the breeding of 
horses will not pay, however good the breed. 
Feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic constantly and 
give your blooded stock a chance to show what 
it will do at its best. 

We guarantee results. If Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic fails in any case to do what we claim^ for 
it we will refund your money. Not only is it 
the best, but it is the cheapest.

FACTS ABOUT 

GOLD COIN HORSE TONIC. 

If you will compare the number of feeds per 
pound — you will see that our feed goes farther 
than any other food on the market. 

ITS SUPERIOR MEDICINAL VALUE. 

makes it a food that need not be fed in large 
doses. A small dose scalded or made wet and 
mixed with the regular feed is all that is needed 
It does the work and that is what you want. You 
cannot afford to buy a cheap food that has to be 
given by the scoop-shovel. No results can be 
obtained by cheap stock foods, because they 
don't contain the proper ingredients. The tonic 
effect of Gold Coin Horse Tonic aids diges- 
tion and assimilation, keeps the water clear, 
strengthens the kidneys and liver, so that every 
grain eaten will give the animal the most pos- 
sible n-trition. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is the 
Blood, Bone and Flesh builder. It is sold only 
on Cash Guarantee, and we agree to refund your 
money in every instance if paying results are not 
obtained. Gold Coin Foods have the largest sale 
in the world today, and it is increasing every 
year. 

If you want to get a high price for your 
horses, they must be in fine condition. Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic puts vigor, action and spirit 
into horses.

larly to horses and all working animals. Your 
horses will show greater speed and be more will- 
ing. It only costs J®"" FOUR FEEDS FOR 
ONE CENT ""m and besides making you a 
better animal, saves you 15 per cent to 25 per

time, it will increase value, and double your pro- 
fits.

IT PAYS WELL TO RAISE HORSES. 

If you have the means at hand the .profit is 
much greater than raising cattle. Notice these 
figures: It takes about the same amount of feed, 
and comes to about the same cost to raise a 
steer to three years of age as it does to raise a 
colt to three years. The colt you will sell for 
from $75 to $150, while you will only get $20 to 
$40 for the steer. Thus you can see there is 
great profit in raising horses. 

Gold Coin Horse Tonic is the key to suc- 
cess in raising horses. First, because it keeps 
them well all the time, and second, because it 
makes them grow fast, and third, because it 
saves grain. If your horses keep well and strong 
you lose no money by sickness or death. If your 
colts grow fast, with large bone frame and well 
developed muscles, it gives them a finer appear- 
ance and they bring a much better price when 
you come to sell them. If you can save 25 to 35 
per cent of the feed you are making a good per- 
centage of gain in that way. Because of the 
above reasons many horse raisers say that Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic makes them 50 per cent more 
profit than they have ever made before. In 
running a horse farm you should keep books 
just the same as any business firm. Have a fair 
market value set upon every horse and colt, and 
increase their value from year to year until the 
time of sale. You should know just how much 
your grain and other feed is costing you, and 
you should know in actual figures every year 
just how much clear profit you make. If by the 
use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic you can sell 
your horses for from $25 to $50 apiece more 
than before, you can see what a great gain in 



profit it will make you. Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
increases the value of horses because it tones 
up the digestive and nervous systems, giving ex- 
tra strength, life and vigor, these mean high 
action, intelligence and endurance. Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic is a perfect horse food because it 
hardens the muscles and gives grace, elegance 
and beautiful form to the horse, that is what 
brings the price. If you are raising one or more 
horses, you cannot afford NOT to use Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. It puts into your hands some- 
thing whereby you can practically double vour 
profits, and you are surely running a stock farm 
for profit. If you have never used Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic write us at once for our special 
prices in bulk. 

SELLING HORSES. 

In selling horses you always want them to 
appear to their best advantage, at least, at the 
time of sale. Put a run down horse on Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic for 30 to 60 Aays, and it 
will often double the selling price of the animal. 
Feed it to almost any horse, say 30 days or so, 
before the sale and it will often add $25.00 to 
$50.00 to the selling price. A wonderful improve- 
ment always takes place when you use Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. This is an important hint for all 
horse dealers to know. A purchaser will always 
try to cut your price down if your horse is not 
sleek and fat. It won't take 25 cents' worth of 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic to make the horse look 
worth $50.00 more^^

SADDLE HORSES. 

No farmer can consider his stable complete 
unless he has at least one good saddle horse, and 
if it suits his need, it would be still better to 
have three or four, depending on the number of 
people employed by the farmer and the size of 
his immediate family. Spare time can always be 
used to advantage in training them to be really 
first class with several gaits, for you can never 
tell when the moment will come when some buyer 
will turn up who wants your ridine horse more 
than he wants a lot of money. These chances 
come up quite often in spite of the fact that rid- 
ing horses are in little demand compared with 
other kinds, and the farmer can find uses almost 
daily for one or more good saddle horses right 
on the farm. They enable one to get quickly to 
any part of the farm, and in case of accident, it 
is much quicker to mount and ride for the doctor 
than to wait to hitch up, and the difference in 
time may, mean the difference of life and death of 
some one very dear to you. Almost more than 
any other kind of horses, the saddle horse should 
be always kept in prime condition, and there is 
nothing on earth you can do that will reach this 
result so surelv as to feed your saddle horses Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. It is the one essential to 
keep them full of life, yet gentle and tractable, 
giving them staying power and speed because it 
keeps the digestive tract clean and cool, leaving 
room for heart and lungs; strengthens the muscles 
and calms the nerves. Any saddle horse fed on 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic will sell for 25 to 50 
per cent more money and be 100 per cent more 



useful to farmers. A point to be remembered is 
that with Gold Coin Horse Tonic a horse will 
do better on 20 per cent less oats than he actually 
needs when not fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 

PONIES. 

It is in the. temperate climate that the horse 
reaches his best form, whether for speed or size. 
In excessively cold climates he degenerates into 
a pony, as the ponies from the Shetland Isles, 
or as in the Mexican Mustang ponies of the semi- 
tropical regions. Oriental horses from coimtries 
under the equator are always small in ?ize. In 
the development of species dependent upon en- 
vironment various characteristics develop in ac- 
cord with the imperative needs of the climate, 
as the long thick coat of the Shetlands, for in- 
stance, and the hairless ponies of tropical China. 
Most ponies are descended from wild herds and 
have to be handled with extreme care before they 
become domesticated, and in order to keep them 
healthy it is almost necessary to specialize their 
diet. Gold Coin Ho'se Tonic is the one uni- 
versal product which can be depended on to keep 
ponies in perfect health. Under its use ponies 
remain rugged and strong, and being well nour- 
ished, are good natured and docile, so that they 
can be handled by children, for whose use they 
are gcneraPy kept.

Champion Thoroughbred Hnnning Horse. 



THOROUGHBREDS OF AMERICA. 

These are simply the English thoroughbred 
horses imported, acclimated and carefully bred 
.and trained. Kentucky and Tennessee, especially 
the blue grass region of Kentucky, have be- 
come famous for their thoroughbreds, and in 
many a hard fought race, both here and abroad, 
the American product has brought his English 
cousin's proud banner down to the dust and 
trampled it under his own triumphant hoofs at the 
wire. If you are interested in thoroughbreds or 
own one or more, or are a breeder of them, you 
surely cannot afford to be without Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. It makes the thoroughbred healthy 
and strong. Naturally he is of a delicate consti- 
tution and suffers from a number of diseases, and 
the surest way to ward these off and keep him 
always in condition and in perfect health, is to 
feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic all the year around. 
The sires breed more surely and the mares foal 
colts of stronger constitution if fed Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic regularly.

GOOD HORSES. 

It is an old saying and a true one, that it 
costs no more to keep a good horse than it does 
to keep a poor one. It costs less as a matter of 
actual fact, for a well bred horse keeps in condition 
on less grain and is usually more healthy than the 
scrub, for often scrubs are creatures of enormous 
appetite combined with the utter inability to lay 
on fat. Many a man is criticised for starving his 
horses when in reality the horses are eating their 
heads off to satisfy their craving for food. The 
fault is either in the digestive tract or else in the 
sluggishness of the blood. In either case Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic will make them lay on fat 
in a short while, and at the same time you can cut 
down their grain with perfect security in the 
results. Once in a while a scrub horse is a fast 
horse or a great worker, and if such is the case, 
the chances are there is good blood in them some 
where. If they are mares they may be good to 
breed from if size and freedom from blemishes is 
all right. All blemishes in a mare are not a bar 
to breeding her, only those which are apt to be 
inherited.

SIRES AND DAMS. 

If you already have stock on hand, select your 
best for breeding purposes. If you intend buying, 
choose both sires and dams first in regard to their 
blood or breed and see that they are strong and 
vigorous, without blemishes either of limbs, vital 
organs or body; that they are intelligent, docile 
and even-tempered. Absolutely refuse to breed 
from an inferior bred sire. If you own a stallion 
yourself, feed him Gold Coin Horse Tonic and 
thus create in him extra vigor, making him a sure 
foal getter, and causing him to hand down his 
superior qualities of breed to his "get." Im- 
properly fed arid cared for, your stock will not 
pay, however good the breed. Feed Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic constantly and give your blooded 
stock a chance to show what they can do at their 
best. 

Many things enter into the problem of success- 
ful and profitable breeding and sometimes a very 
small matter throws the scale the right way. Do 
not lose a single chance to make your breeding 
pay and Gold Coin Horse Tonic makes a big 
chance that it will pay. If you have never used 
it, write us direct and test it on our guarantee to 
bring you paying results. 



BUYING SPEED HORSES. 

If you breed horses for speed, of course you 
know pretty nearly what each of your animals can 
do in this way, and if you buy any new stock you 
sliould take the pains to know what it can do in 
speed. The general farmer buying a fast horse 
ought to take nobody's word since something 
may happen to reduce the speed of the horse and 
you might think the seller deceived you and that 
the horse never made the time claimed. The seller 
may be truthful, since a horse may make good 
time to-day and never be able to make it again 
in his life. The only way to buy a fast horse is to 
have him go a sample mile or two against time 
and let some competent judge snap a stop watch 
on him. Then you actually know just what time 
the horse will make. It is the only safe way, and 
if you will then keep the horse on Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic, and get vigor and energy to the 
highest standards you may be able to develop him 
into a great speeder. 



Gold Coin Horse Tonic is used by all prom- 
inent trackmen for its "tonic" effect. It has won

Pure Bred Clydesdale — 1st Prize Winner. 



CLYDESDALE HORSES. 

_ These are a justly valued breed. In breeding, 
raising, training and keeping Clydesdales, do not 
fail to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. While this 
breed is easily acclimated, and when crossed with 
common stock, produces good, all around farm 
horses, our climate is not the same as the Scotch- 
English climate of their native country, and es- 
pecially directly after importation do they need 
special care. With ordinary prudence in handling, 
Clydesdales and their crosses, make good healthy 
animals, especially when fed regularly on Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic they develop to the full those 
strong, sturdy characteristics, the shiny coat; clear 
eye; clear nostril; and layered muscle that marks 
them at their best. 

In buying Clydesdales see that they are well 
muscled and not too fat; the head should be 
medium size with broad forehead between the 
eyes; long 'ears; jaw wide and strong boned; eyes 
full and mild; large nostrils; neck slightly arched 
and swelling with thick outer layers of muscles 
and wide as it joins the shoulders. The breast 
broad and full;- the barrel should be round and 
full with ample room for the great vital organs; 
the foreleg should be clean boned and well mus- 
cled, long from elbow to knee, from knee to fet- 
lock short, which knees should be large, with a 
tendency to long hairs below the knee; back 
legs short and well coupled up and full round 
muscled; hoofs large and tough. Their color is 
usually brown.

^'SPECIAL SELECTION." 

This is selection of sire and dam with a view 
of emphasizing certain desirable qualities, and 
continuing this selection from generation to gen- 
eration until some one feature is brought to the 
highest possible point of development. Ordinarily 
breeding heavy draft and farm horses, every farm- 
er can emphasize the fast walk in his new stock. 
Keep this in mind and if breeding work horses, 
select only those which can walk rapidly, and in 
two or three generations you can produce a 
race of long stepping, rapid watkers, worth from 
20 to 50 per cent more money in the open market 
than the same breed if bred slow walkers. Fast 
walking is to the draft horse what speed is to the 
trotter, the more they show the more money they 
brino-. and Gold Coin Horse Tonic is the es- 
sential more than any other one thing for feeding 
when you are breeding for special features, since 
it is only by keeping the dams in perfect condition 
all the time that you can hope to breed satisfac- 
torily for any purpose. If you want to get the 
best results from any point of view, put your 
brood mares also on Gold Coin Horse Tonic at 
once.

THE MORGAN HORSE. 

This breed shows many good points for the 
farmer's consideration. The Morgan is a medium 
weight horse. It is a good roadster and good 
at all work on the farm. It is handier on the 
soft ground than the heavier breeds and less 
likely to become spavined. A few years ago 
this breed was very popular, and in some districts 
is coming into popularity again. As a general 
purpose horse the Morgan is considered better 
than any other breed. This is an excellent animal 
to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic on. It makes the 

r" coat smooth and glossy. It keeps up the nerve, 
energy, and endurance, as well as keeping them 
free from disease, and in practical working con- 
dition all the time. Use Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
on all your horses and you will see a 100 per cent 
improvement in a short time. By its "Toning up" 
action it makes valuable, high spirited, expensive 
horses of what would otherwise be cheap scrubs. 
You want the best and you get the BEST when 
you use Gold Coin Stock Foods. It makes extra 
money for the farmers by increasing the value of 

■» the stock, as well as making a saving in feed. 
Try it.

FACTS ABOUT FOOD SAVING. 

A farm horse or any other heavy work horse 
which has been in the habit of getting five quarts 
of oats three times a day, can be given four 
quarts' of oats and a measureful (tablespoonful) 
of Gold Coin Horse Tonic three times a day, 
and he will be in far better condition, and show 
better nourishment than if he were fed five 
quarts three times a day without any Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. 

A lighter horse only needs three quarts of 
oats and one feed of Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
to keep in much better condition than if fed four 
quarts of oats and no Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 
That shows you the actual saving of this great 
scientific preparation. No animal can eat Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic and have indigestion. You 
can take a run down, bony horse and fatten him 
in a very short time with Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 
He will take on fat and keep it and remain a much 
better horse permanently. 

ENGLAND USES SEVERAL THOUSANDS 
OF OUR HORSES EVERY YEAR. 

They pay us from $200 to $325 a head for 
good draft horses. It pays to raise the very best 
grade of horses. And it is very easy to make all 
of your horses good grade horses if you will 
feed them Gold Coin Horse Tonic so as to 
give them strong internal organs which develop 
the frame and structure of the animal, you will 
then get big prices where otherwise you would 
only get small prices.

Clinnipion French Coach Stallion. 



FRENCH COACH HORSES. 

As Canada has made Cleveland Bays famous 
as coach horses, so the French government has 
taken great pains and gone to almost any ex- 
pense to produce a breed of horses for coach pur- 
poses that cannot be surpassed for style, action, 
speed and intelligence bj^ any other known coach 
horse. The great endurance of this breed is en- 
hanced by the regular use of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic, and to breeders generally we wish to say 
emphatically that you will add from 20 to 60 per 
cent to the price of your coach horses if you use 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic from time of weaning 
till sold in the market. There is every likelihood 
that they will continue to get the Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic after they get to the city, for all owners 
of private coach horses who know the value of 
this food feed it systematically. 

These horses weigh from 1,100 to 1,-1:00 pounds 
and combine strength with speed and endurance, 
as you would expect of a horse combining Arab, 
French and English thoroughbred blood.

SHOEING. 

The value of a horse depends on his ability 
to get over the ground from place to place. To 
do this to the best advantage, he must have good 
legs and feet. A horse may be perfect in every 
way. but if his feet are bad he is disabled from 
work at once, therefore, know your blacksmith. 
Pick out one who knows his business. A poor, 
ignorant or careless blacksmith can ruin more 
horses than he is worth. The day is past when 
any man who blows a bellows and bends a piece 
of hot iron, can shoe horses. Horseshoeing is a 
profession and an art. At least the blacksmith 
should know how to trim a hoof so as to prop- 
erly distribute the weight and pressure over the 
shoe; how to drive nails so as to avoid laming 
the horse and at the same time not injure the 
hoof; he should particularly know enough to let 
the frog alone except when it clearly needs trim- 
milig and it rarely needs much, since it should 
touch the. ground, and wear away naturally. All 
the frog needs, as a rule, is to be kept clean. A 
good blacksmith is a treasure. Treat him well 
and pay him promptly, for he can preserve your 
horse's feet and straighten them up after a poor 
smith has damaged them.

Good Specimens of Pure Bred Percheron and Royal Belgian — Owned by Mr. Franfe lams, St. Paul, Neb., 

Importer and Breeder of Fine Draft Horses. 

eron are applied to all imported French draft 
horses, and they are all very much alike in 
physical characteristics. Any of them make the 
finest draft horses in the world. If you want to 
get the best results with Percherons either for 
breeding or exhibition purposes, don't fail to use 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and if you would have 
your brood mares, when bred to a Percheron 
stallion, foal the best and strongest colts, you 
can get this result most surely by using Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic, all the time she is with foal. 



PERCHERON HORSES. 

Inere is no breed which shows so well the 
marvelous effects of Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 
The rule is that the best breeds the best results 
with Gold Coin Horse Tonic, though you should 
not lose sight of the fact that even with scrub 
horses Gold Coin Horse Tonic shows how won- 
derfully well they can be made to appear, and 
how near common horses can be made to look as 
though they had the life and breeding of their 
betters. This is because any horse fed on Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic' is built up in health till he be- 
comes absolutely perfect, even if he is hard 
worked and poorly fed otherwise; because Gold 
coin Horse Tonic is a food as well as a system 
regulator and health builder. 

Percheron horses have more highly developed 
nervous systems than most heavy draft horses, 
which is shown in their remarkable traveling 
powers and quickness for their weight; and also 
in their superior intelligence. 

In buying Percherons, see that the head is of 
medium size and length and wide forehead be- 
tween the eyes with the face slightly dished; ears 
god size and quick; nostrils clean and open; eye 
bright and intelligent, but not showing the least 
wildness; the neck arched, wide and thickening 
well toward shoulders; shoulders very muscular 
and well sloped; back short, well coupled and full 
muscled; body round, full, close ribbed and ex- 
pansive; hind quarters round, full and strongly 
built. Their colors are black and gray. Hair fine, 
short, but longer on the legs, especially below the 
knees. 

Some confusion has arisen in naming this 
breed, since in the stud book the names Norman, 
Percheron, Percheron Norman, Norman Perch- 



FARM HORSES. 

No book on the subject of horses could be 
considered complete without paying a well de- 
served tribute to the farm horses. These faithful 
servants and friends of man have not always re- 
ceived the care and attention their great services 
deserved. They do the greatest part towards 
maintaining the prosperity and pre-eminence of 
our country, and should be given every care. If 
you wish to be a kind master and at the same 
time secure the greatest possible amount of service 
from your farm horses you will be compelled to 
give them Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a regular 
diet. They like it; it keeps them in health all the 
time without a day's sickness; makes them^ strong 
and well developed muscularly; keeps their skins 
active and therefore their coats glossy and bright; 
and fills them with that nerve and super-abund- 
ance of health that makes thoroughbreds and 
blooded stock generally beautiful animals to look 
unon and valuable for their services. Invest to- 
day in your first supply of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic and get into line with modern horsemen. 
Why not have your horses look as well and be as 
valuable as anv one's?

CLEVELAND BAY HORSES. IN AND IN, AND CROSS-BREEDING. 



Every farmer wants to make the greatest 
amount of money possible and he cannot do this 
without giving proper attention to the horses on 
the farm. While it paj^s best perhaps in one way 
to raise heavy draft horses, there is no question 
but the farmer can get a fancy price for a good 
coach horse any time and if he has a pair well 
matched and trained he can demand and get his 
own price for them. In raising Cleveland Bays, 
you will make no mistake, for you are sure of get- 
ting a good wagon or plow horse and perhaps you 
will get a good coach horse. It depends on the 
dam. The better the mare bred to a Cleveland 
Bay stallion the better your chances of getting a 
good coach horse. Canada has earned a wide- 
spread fame for coach horses and she has done it 
by breeding from the best Cleveland Bay sires 
and raising the standard of her brood mares. 
To-day she has a lead on coach horses hard to 
overcome. 

The Canada coach horse breeders use thou- 
sands of tons of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and 
keep their stock in perfect condition all the time. 
It is this intelligent and persistent feeding of 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic that makes them such 
successful breeders.

In-breeding is advocated by some, and it is a 
fact that some very fine stock has been brought 
out in this way. Others advocate cross-breeding 
and beyond a doubt, this is the safest for the gen- 
eral farmer. In and in breeding by fathers to 
daughters and mothers to sons; sisters and broth- 
ers; uncles and aunts, or even first cousins may 
produce undesirable individuals. Even if they hap- 
pen to be physically perfect, they are apt to be of 
uncertain temper and vicious disposition, or nat- 
ural born fools, who never learn anything, are 
hard to break or teach, and subject to disease. 

Sometimes it becomes almost a necessity for a 
farmer to in-breed to a certain extent, and when 
it is necessary you can guard against possible bad 
results by feeding systematically Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic, since it will bring the stock up to that 
high state of physical and mental perfection by 
which only it is possible to produce desirable get. 

SELLING HORSES. 

In selling horses you always want them to 
appear to their best advantage, at least, at the 
time of sale. Put a run down horse on Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic for 30 to 60 days, and it will 
often double the selling price of the animal. 
Feed it to almost any horse, say 30 days or so, 
before the sale and it will often add $25.00 to 
$50.00 to the selling price. A wonderful improve- 
ment always takes place when you use Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. This is an important hint for all 
horsedealers to know. A purchaser will always 
try to cut your price down if your horse is not 
sleek and fat. It wont take 25c worth of Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic to make the horse look worth 
$50.00 more.

ARABIAN HORSES. 

There are few full blooded Arabian horses in 
America, but as they are the source of the 
thoroug-hbred, so are they the source of the trot- 
ting and pacing horse. For thousands of years 
the Arabians have held these horses in the heart 
of their afifection and since they must often trust 
their lives to the speed and endurance of their 
horses they have through unnumbered genera- 
tions kept them pure in blood and bred them for 
these qualities. At the same time, these horses 
have a beauty in their full flanked, deer like legs, 
high arching necks and delicate, patrician heads, 
that makes them much more than their speedier 
descendants, the subject of the artist's brush. In 
importing Arabian horses for breeding purposes 
it has been found that fed on Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic, they retain and show an incrtease in 
strength, health, endurance and power of getting 
valuable colts.

BREEDING FOR SIZE. 

If you are a general farmer, don' breed trot- 
ters. It requires the time and money for training 
that only trotting breeders who are specialists in 
that line can afford. The gains may look large, 
but the cost is heavy and the losses and disap- 
pointments are simply bankrupting. If you want 
to raise a trotter or two for your own private use 
and can afford them, of course, it is nobody's busi- 
ness, and if you feed them Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic you can carry them through safely and 
have as fine buggy horses as the richest man in 
America, though they may lack track training. 
There are farmers to-day in the poorhouse and 
lunatic asylum through chasing the will-o-the-wisp 
of fast horses. 

Raise heavy draft horses, carriage horses and 
farm horses, and feed them Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic and sell them as young as possible, always 
v/ith regard to the state of the market, and by 
using even ordinary judgment, 3^ou can make all 
kinds of money. 

When breeding select the best possible mares 
you can get, and if you can raise good mares of 
your own so much the better, as you can keep im- 
proving your breeds all the time. Give your most 
careful attention to choice of sires, other things 
being equal, have a sire and dam about the same 
size. If either is a trifle smaller let it be the 
mare. If you desire to increase the size of your 
stock let the mare be larger than the horse. From 
the time your mare is covered, feed her constantly 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic. The foal will be large, 
strong, and well developed. After dropping the 
foal, continue feeding Gold Coin Horse Tonic, 
so that the mare will recover quickly, have plenty 
of milk, and be able to bring the colt quickly to 
weaning. Continue feeding Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic both to the colt and mare. You can have 
your mare for work, or to breed back with a 
saving in time and in money in proportion to the 
worth of your stock. 

If Gold Coin Horse Tonic fails in any case to 
do what we claim for it, we will refund your 
money, and not only is it the best, but it is also 
the cheapest.

VERMONT DRAFT HORSES. 

If any man with an ambition to make money 
in horses would take up this breed, there is no 
question but he would succeed, as well as doing a 
patriotic duty towards his country. These horses 
are becoming quite rare, yet they are always in 
demand by the United States government for 
calvary horses, at good prices. Any stock farm 
with a good supply of these horses would at once 
become the focus of Uncle Sam's gaze and a 
steady market would be in readiness for the man 
who has the foresight to take up the breeding of 
Vermont draft horses. They show to the very 
best advantage and develop more rapidly when 
fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a regular ration. 
As said before, Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not 
merely a medicine, but a medicinal food, which 
ought to be fed regularly the year round, for it is 
under such feeding that this breed develops into 
one of the handsomest and most powerful horse;s 
known anywhere and is able to pull heavy loads 
at a speed which would kill an ordinary horse.

NORMAN PERGHERON HORSES. 

This is a refinement of names hardly required 
in a brief summary such as this, since what has 
been said of Percherons will apply largely and m 
general terms to this breed. The proper designa- 
tion of the larger, heavier, slower horses from 
Normandy is simply the Norman horse, while its 
more active and lighter brother is called the 
Percheron. In tests of strength, these horses all 
show more endurance, greater bottom, nerve and 
willingness when fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
than similar individuals fed in the ordinary way. 
There is no comparison between the two, and 
once you. have used Gold Coin Horse Tonic, 
nothing could induce you to continue handling 
horses without it.

OATS. 



The building qualities of oats can be doubled, 
some feeders say tripled, if Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic is fed in connection with it. It is the ideal 
feed for horses. It makes less heat. You can 
begin feeding your colts oats from weaning time, 
and if you feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic to the 
colts at the same time you get a result that can 
not be surpassed, in muscle and bone growth. The 
colts are always intelligent and good tempered 
if fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic because they 
are always healthy and therefore they are much 
more easily broken. 

Remember, it takes time to digest oats, as they 
require much stomach digestion, therefore you 
should never water horses inside of half an hour 
after feeding them oats. Water stops the digest- 
ing power of the stomach for a time, besides 
washing a good deal of the feed through into the 
bowels before it is ready, and it must then pass on 
out without being digested at all. If you feed 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic the stomach digestion 
will be more rapid and complete and the animal 
will be able to get all the nutrition. We guarantee 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic to save 15 to 25 per 
cent of feed and prevent diseases. If you have 
never used it, write to us and test it on our guar- 
antee-

SELLING HORSES. 

In selling horses you always want them to 
appear to their best advantage, at least, at the 
time of sale. Put a run down horse on Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic for 30 to 60 days, and it 
will often double the selling price of the animal. 
Feed it to almost any horse, say 30 days or so, 
before the sale and it will often add $25.00 to 
$50.00 to the selUng price. A wonderful improve- 
ment always takes place when you use Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. This is an important hint for 
all horse dealers to know. A purchaser will al- 
ways try to cut your price if your horse is not 
sleek and fat. It wont take 25c worth of Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic to make the horse look worth 
$50.00 more.

RAISING GOOD PLOW 
HORSES. 

Plow horses are no particular breed, but the}' 
should weigh from 1,200 to 1,400 pounds each, and 
the better bred they are the better their work. 
The plow team needs education just as much as a 
good carriage team. They should be taught to 
respond to the word as well as to the rein, and 
few realize how easy it is to teach horses to 
answer to the word. It is a genuine pleasure to 
plow with a well educated and powerful plow 
team. They know almost as well as you do what 
is required of them and will go ahead with their 
work like machines, turning at the end of a fur- 
row in just the right waj^ starting the plow in 
with a slow, steady pull and keeping to the line, 
with only a low word spoken now and then to 
indicate what you want. Of course, they ought to 
have proper resting spells. You can never make 
time with a horse by urging him on after his 
muscles begin to ache. To select a good Perche- 
ron or Clyde sire and a good vigorous dam of 
about the same size is an easy matter. What bet- 
ter investment can a farmer make than to raise 
some good colts for a plow team every year. 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic makes colts grow rapidlj^ 
and become large-boned, hard muscled and un- 
tiring horses. 

Gold Coin Horse Tonic keeps the lungs 
strong. It prevents pneumonia. 



"CONDITION" YOUR BREEDERS FOR SALE. 

If you are preparing any horses to sell for 
high prices as breeders, feed them Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic. It will give them a fine finish and 
bring you a higher price. 

A 50-cent package of Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
will often increase the selling price of a horse $25 
to $50. If you have a horse or other animal for 
sale feed him Gold Coin Horse Tonic for a while. 
It's a wonder. 

A secret worth knowing — Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic not only saves veterinary bills, but it saves 
15 to 25 per cent of the feed. It's a money 
maker. 



There is nothing on earth that will make a 
broken down, used up and half-starved horse 
gain weight and strength like Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic and in a short time he develops out of all 
recognition. Such horses, if not permanently dam- 
aged, soon more than pay the little extra cost of 
15 cents a month. They gain in weight, health 
and strength and put on a fine, glossy coat that 
gives them a style and appearance that makes 
them sellers on the market.

A VALUABLE PLOW TEAM. 

Good plow teams are few. Yet this is the 
kind of horse that brings the farmer most money. 
Most plow teams used are too light. As well as 
having weight they should be intelligent and 
trained to respond to the voice as well as to the 
rein. The best plow teams are raised plow 
teams from young up. Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
fed regularly puts the elements into a heavy 
horse that make him a perfect plow horse. It 
gives large bones, big muscles, heavy, rounded 
form, clear eye, quick ear and -superior intelli- 
gence, gentleness of manner and easily trained. 
You want to feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic to

and takes up a lot of your time. You cannot af-

plow team always brings a good price on the 
market. If you have never used Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic, write us for a supply and we will put you

THE FARMER'S HORSE. 

The farmer's horse needs Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic more than any other horse. He should be 
in good condition and alwavs ready for action, 
because on this animal depends the welfare of 
the whole nation. If for some reason the farm 
horses should all play out, there could be no 
plowing-, no planting, and hence no crops. And 
this would mean starvation to the city people. 
Keep your farm horses fat, it gives them better 
value, if you want to sell them', and gives them 
better weight to pull with.. 

Farm horses are usually a mixed breed, but if 
they are good size, intelligent and know the 
duties of a farm horse they always bring good 
prices. No farmer with two or more horses can 
afford NOT to feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 
It keeps the horse healthy, purifies the blood, 
and aids digestion. We guarantee that it will 
make a saving of at least 15 to 25 per cent of the 
feed. And this means a great deal if you should 
have ten or twelve horses on your farm.- We are 
glad to see all farmers make money and if we 
can help you make it by the use of Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic, which we guarantee will make you 
an increase of 15 to 25 per cent more than you 
have ever made before, we will be glad to help

SIZE OF HORSES. 

It has been shown that as a rule the larger the 
horse the more powerful he is, and the more work 
he can do, and keep well and healthy. 

In breeding for size it must be remembered 
that the feet of heavy horses have to stand a 
much greater strain than those of lighter weight 
so that the feet must be kept in mind and no 
mare or stallion breeding into a line of heavy 
horses should be chosen if there is any serious 
tendency to hoof disease, or other foot trouble. 
There is no constitutional treatment that can 
compare with Gold Coin Horse Tonic in ele- 
vating the general health and thus making the 
feet also strong and tough, by improving the horn 
of hoof and keeping the frog and the glands 
healthy and active. Of course, when hoofs are 
positively diseased they should also receive proper 
local treatment, which you will find referred to 
under diseases of the horse. 

Another thing, large employers of draft horses 
want them intelligent, active and with lots of 
nerve and ambition; the disposition also de- 
serves attention, for a vicious draft horse is 
worthless. 

The life and health of a colt, and therefore, its 
size, is dependent on many things. If your mare 
is gaunt and thin at serving, or the stallion is 
exhausted, the colt is at a disadvantage from the 
very moment of his conception. Those initial 
forces of life which determine the vigor and dis- 
ease-resisting powers of the mature animal, are 
weakened and the foal gets a bad start. It is true 
that by careful after-handling the colt may make 
a good horse, but he will ever have a weak spot 
somewhere that will break down when he is put to 
severe tests. Nature makes wild animals breed in

the springtime. Why? Because the mothers have 
all summer ahead of them when feed is abundant 
and they pass the nourishment on to their off- 
spring. 

Take the hint. Feed your mares plentifully 
when carrying foals and do not leave them to feed 
only pasture. Teach them to come regularly to 
the barn or feed box to get a feed of grain and 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic and you need have no 
worry as to the resulting colt. It will be strong 
and grow vigorously. The hint should be further 
followed and the mare should be in good condi- 
tion when served. Feed her Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic before time and all during the time. Surely 
it is to your own interest to keep your brood- 
mares in perfect condition all the time, since you 
can do so by feeding them less grain if you use 
a small amount of Gold Coin Horse Tonic and 
do it at a net saving. If you feed 96 cents less 
oats and 15 cents worth of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic you have saved 81 cents a head per month, 
and your horse is in better condition. Remem- 
ber we guarantee every statement we make to be 
based on acutal experiment and constant experi- 
ence. 

By following our advice if you are breedmg 
for size you can count on attaining your desired 
results and avoiding the chances of disappoint- 
ment. 

To breed profitably requires great care and 
judgment, but with scientific feeding you can get 
as good results as the great horse breeders who 
themselves are successful because they give heed 
to scientific feeding and use Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic constantly in their stables. It keeps horses 
in perfect condition, and in exhibition form, fat, 
sleek, shiny, healthy and active; and always ready 
for a possible purchaser at a high price.

ECONOMICAL FEEDING. 

The greatest possible economy in feeding 
cannot be obtained unless Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic is used in the regular feeding of your 
horses. We absolutely guarantee you that 15 to 
25 per cent of the feed you have always given 
can be saved and still keep your horse in better 
condition than ever before. This can be readily 
understood when it is remembered that few 
animals have perfect digestion, and often allow 
as much as 35 per cent of feed go through them 
undigested. It is not what your horse eats that 
makes flesh and fat, but what it digests. If you 
have never tried Gold Coin Horse Tonic as an 
aid in saving grain, write us at once, and we will 
be glad to have you test it on our guarantee. To 
feed it you simply mix it in, or sprinkle it on the 
regular grain feed. 



When buying a horse always see him both 
standing and in motion. If you are buying a 
speeder see him do a mile under the watch. 
There is no other way to see for yourself just 
what he can do. 



The farm horse deserves the best feeding you 
can afford, and you can afford to give none but 
the bestr Feed him on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 



Do not lose a single chance to make your 
breeding pay, and while little things may turn 
the scale the right way, Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
affords a big chance that it will pay. 



BUYING A HORSE 

THE GOOD AND BAD POINTS. 

■ Do not pay an unblemished 
price for a blemished animal. 
A sound horse stands squarely 
on his four feet, moving only 
when necessary; if the navicular 
bone has been affected he throws 
the foot forward -with the toe 
jointing to the ground and heel 
raised ; laminites, founder or 
sprain of back sinews, makes 
the horse raise the toe and rest 
the heel on the ground, or a 
weakness or tenderness that 
might develop into serious 
trouble will cause the same 
sign ; if the kidneys are affected 
or the loins weak, the animal 
will spread his legs ; if he has 
been injured permanently by 
pulling or hard driving, he will 
be knee sprung, that is, the 
forelegs will be bent at the 
knees and trembling and un- 
steady; if he has hoof disease, 
it will show in the frog and 
horn of the hoof, it should not 
be contracted, split, scaly or 
badly formed; if injured by 
kicking or viciousness his legs 
will be scarred; if the eye is weak 
it w^ill be watery or if blind- 
ness threatens the eye will 
show a bluish film; teeth should be sound without 
decay and unbroken and set firmly in the jaw; 
look to his breathing under work or speed for 
signs of lung or heart weakness. If you keep 
these points in mind as belonging to horses of all 
kinds regardless of breed and then select the 
best marked samples of the breed you want you 
can't go very far wrong in buying a horse, and if 
he is thin, although he may not look so well, if it 
is not due to disease or constitutional inability to 
lay on flesh, it need not stand in the way of 
purchase, though you ought to pay less than for 
the same animal in good flesh. In a short time, if 
3^ou feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic, you can put 
the horse in prime condition. It only costs you 
"4 feeds for a cent." When you buy horses never 
fail to give them a regular supply of Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic at once, in order to clean them 
out thoroughly and thus prevent any diseases 
they may have 
from spreading mi 
among your othei 
stock. Not o n »

ABOUT HORSE BREEDING. 

If you are a breeder, or intend to become one. 
you will find that Gold Coin Horse Tonic will 
do more towards making you a successful breeder 
than any other one thing. Test this statement in 
any way you please. In a thirty-day test weigh 
your horses, keep track of amount of. feed and 
amount of work done, whatever the kind of work, 
field, road or track, on the ordinary diet for thirty 
days, then get some reliable judge to say what he 
thinks the horse or horses ought to bring in the 
open market. 

Weigh your horses again, and put them on 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic in connection with a 
25 per cent drop in amount of ordinary feed. 
After thirty days .figure cost of Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic, which will be about 10 or 15 cents per 
head for the thirty days; figure value of other 
feed saved, weigh your horses and compare them 
in weight at the beginning of the thirty days; 
figure amount of work done as nearly as yo.u can 
and get another different judge to put a price on 
your horses in presence of the first judge and let 
the latter say if it is not fair. 

You will be perfectly amazed at the result. 
You will find you have made an outlay of 10 to 
15 cents per head, saved 40 to 90 cents worth of 
oats per head. You got more work and tired your 
horses less and increased the market value enough 
to buy Gold Coin Horse Tonic for several years, 
or on a $200.00 horse you raise his price to $250.00.

HOW TO SELL HORSES. 

Have a fixed market. Sell to one firm of deal- 
ers in your nearest city or have a good list of 
firms using horses in their business. Then raise 
the best possible stock with the means and facil- 
ities you have and be honest. Deal fairly always. 
If you have a horse with a hidden blemish or de- 
fect of form or disposition tell your customer 
openly. If you are going to be sucessful y^ou will 
have to do this, for it is only by finding your 
horses exactly as you represent them that men 
will acquire confidence in you, and once your 
customers acquire this confidence, they will gladly 
pay more than the market price for any- of your 
horses because they know what you say is right. 
The day is passed when men prosper by sharp 
and underhanded methods of doing business, and 
in the horse business this is truer than in any 
other. You can go into any community and buy 
a horse of a breeder nowadays and the animal will 
be exactly as the horseman represents, nine times 
out of ten. 

To sell at high prices the horses should be in 
their condition of conditions. Fat horses sell bet- 



ter than thin ones. Bear it in mind. To get 
your horses in good marketable condition and 
keep them so at the least expense of time, trouble 
and grain, you should feed them Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic. It makes them digest all they eat. In 
the sale stables, in the public sale ring, by 
private purchase or in the search for horses by 
government agents the fat horse is sold readily 
while the thin one is haggled over and his price 
beaten down, although he may be a better horse 
than his fat brother. The hint in this is too 
strong to be neglected. Fatten your sale horses. 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic fattens them quickly, 
surely and cheaply and gives them a style, life 
and finish that adds more dollars to their price at 
a sale than we dare mention for fear of being ac- 
cused of exaggeration. These are all positive 
facts easily verified and guaranteed by us or 
money refunded without a qaestion asked. 



The horse that has had good care during the 
winter will more than pay for his winter's keep 
by the extra work he can do the first week of 
spring plowing.

Prince Alert, a Promising Young Pacer. 



ARE YOU NOT WILLING TO GIVE A FEW 
MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO LEARN 
HOW TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY? 

Thousands of stockmen in all sections of this 
country, and in England and Canada, are saving 
from 15 to 25 per cent of their actual feed every 
day — how? They do it by following the new 
scientific method of feeding as performed by Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. This remarkable medicated 
food contains a substance that has such excel- 
lent action upon the stomach of the horse, that 
it causes 15 to 25 per cent more food to be di- 
gested than ever before. It is considered by many 
stock raisers to be one of the greatest inventions 
of the age. 

As an intelligent farmer, you must have no- 
ticed in the past 25 years the rapid stride made 
in improved machinery, as self binders, reapers, 
etc. In city life, electric street cars, bicycles, 
etc. You have also followed the improvements 
in breeds of stock. And you have no doubt be- 
lieved that some day improvements in feeding 
would also be invented. Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
has completely changed the old line of feed- 
ing. No intelligent farmer of today ever thinks 
of feeding a cow or horse, or even his hogs, 
without mixing in a measureful of Gold Coin 
Special Stock Food to create perfect digestion and 
assimilation. Every time you feed like this it 



means a saving of 15 to 25 per cent of the feed. 
It is a well known fact that not one horse in ten 
has perfect digestion, about 15 to 35 per cent of 
the food eaten by such horses passes through 
them and is wasted. Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
creates greater digestion. It digests all the food 
eaten; stops all the waste, and saves the stock- 
man 15 to 25 per cent of feed. That is scientific 
feedingf. If you wish to secure a supply of Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic write us direct and we will 
quote you prices on bulk. Do not confuse this 
new scientific preparation with the old fashioned 
condition powders which were composed of 
strychnine, arsenic, and other injurious drugs; 
nor with the old stvled stock foods which have 
usually oroven valueless. Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
is not merely a medicine pure and simple (though 
it is better than most horse medicines). But it is 
'■trictly a Tonic so prepared as to increase diges- 
tion and improve the vitality of any horse to 
which it is given. It is made to be fed regularly 
as any food should be. A weak, ill-conditioned, 
unthrifty horse can be put in "condition" and be 
made a permanently good horse by giving him 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic. We want to see you 
make extra money and if the new "Gold Coin" 
method will help you, we will be glad to ship 
you some at once. Yours for increase of profits.

Thousands of horses are sold and bought every month at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. 
Many are sent abroad to foreign countries. England buys many thousands of American horses 
every year. When visiting the Stock Yards do not fail to visit the Horse Market, v;here as high

FAT HORSES ALWAYS SELL BEST. 

Horses look best when fat. A great many 
buyers won't buy a horse unless fat The fact 
that a horse is fat is a good point in his favor. 
There is always some haggling about the price 
if a horse is thin, though he may be perfectly 
sound in every other way. One of the handsome 
features of a horse is its fat, well-rounded body. 
A thin horse placed on the market alongside of 
a fat horse will have to sell for less than the fat 
one, probably as much as $30 to $60 less, though 
he is of the same breed, size and action. In 
getting your horses ready for sale always fatten 
them, because a great many people think all fat 
horses are good ones. There is nothing in the 
world that will fatten horses as quickly as Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. We often hear from users of 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic that a 50-cent box fat- 
tened a horse so that they sold it for from $25 Jro 
$50 more than they were offered for it before it 
was fattened. It will certainly pay you to feed 
your horses 30 to 60 days on Gold Coin Horse 
Tonic before selling them. It will only cost you 
a few cents, and give you a very large extra profit. 



FEEDING MULES. 



Gold Coin Horse Tonic is a great thing for 
mules. A pail or two of it will prove to you what 
a scientific medicated food can do. And what an 
improvement it is over the old method of feeding. 



ASSES AND MULES. 

These hardy animals have been the butt of 
much undeserved ridicule. They are tough, 
strong, willing and very intelligent. For many 
years their breeding was confined to the South- 
ern States, but as their value has become more 
and more appreciated, their breeding has become 
more common, until to-day some of the best Jack 
breeding farms are North as well as South. Many 
fine, large animals are bred. It is the mule's rep- 
utation that he can live on what a horse will re- 
fuse to eat. All the same, he is infinitely more 
profitable when fed properly, and if given a daily 
feed of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, he blossoms 
out into a really fine and handsome beast. He 
responds kindly to the gentle nurture of his aris- 
tocratic relative, the horse, and will put dollars 
into your pocket where you spend pennies to feed 
him Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It is this idea of 
increasing your profits that we ask you to keep in 
mind in connection with Gold Coin Horse Tonic. 
Of course, humane men like to have their ani- 
mals live well and enjoy their feed, but horses and 
mules are kept, raised and worked for profit, and 
it is on the right side of the ledger after all that 
the great value of Gold Coin Horse Tonic shows 
in increasing your profits from any and all kinds 
of equine beasts. 

STIFLE-JOINT LAMENESS:— Bathe well 
two or three times a day with Gold Coin Heal- 
ing Oil and give the animal Gold Medal Condi- 
tion Powder, three times a day, as these animals 
are usually run dowri in health.

DISEASES OF THE HORSE. 

JBvery farmer slioald kno^r hoT^ to treat and cure all common diseases of Horses. 



CHAPPED HOCKS AND ELBOWS. 

The elbows and hocks sometimes become cal- 
loused and if nothing is done often develops into 
a large, bad looking swelling. Use Gold Coin Re- 
solvent, rub thoroughly on the swelling twice 
a day and give the horse abundance of bedding, 
so as to prevent bruising of the joints. Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic purifies the blood and favors 
quick healing. It is a food as well as a medicine. 
Horses eat less and get more good out of their 
feed. It saves 15 to 25 per cent of the feed. We 
guarantee it. Write us. 

THOROUGHPIN. 

This trouble usually accompanies blood spavin. 
There is a puffed, swollen condition in front of 
the hock. Rub it thoroughly twice a day with 
Gold Coin Resolvent. As a rule it does not cause 
lameness. Blistering does no good. 

SPLINT. 

This is a very common trouble. It is usually 
due to a strain or injury on the cannon bone. 
While forming it usually causes lameness, but 
after it becomes hard it gives no trouble. While 
tender and inflamed rub well with Gold Coin Re- 
solvent. Some cases take longer than others. 
give Gold Coin Horse Tonic (4 feeds for one cent) 
to keep the horse in good condition. It favors 
quick healing. 



SPRAINS OF THE BACK TENDONS 
OF THE FORELEGS. 

This is a very common trouble. It is usually 
caused by fast driving. The tendons of the fore 
legs become strained and somewhat contracted. 
Remove the shoes at once and shoe in such a way 
as to raise the heels. Give the entire forelegs a 
thorough rubbing with Gold Coin Resolvent each 
time after using and bandage as tightly as the 
tenderness will permit. Feed your horse Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic to strengthen the constitution 
or you will soon have a knee-sprung horse — one- 
quarter his value. 

CURE OF THRUSH. 

Thrush is where the frog of the foot becomes 
rotten and ulcerated. There is a dark colored, 
bad smelling discharge. Thrush is usually caused 
by uncleanliness of the feet. The filth remaining 
there so long that it caused rot by exclusion of the 
air. It usually occurs in the front feet of geldings 
and hind feet of mares. Thrush can always be 
quickly cured by the use of Gold Coin Foot Rem- 
edy. Full directions for the cure printed on every 
can. Feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic three times 
a day with the regular feed, to keep up the consti- 
tutional strength.

DISEASES OF THE HORSE (Continued.) 
BONE SPAVIN. BOG SPAVIN. 



In this disease a hard lump forms on the 
inner side of the hock joint. The inflammation, 
stiffness and deposit of bony substance hinders 
free action, causing lameness. It is usually caused 
by a strain. The lameness disappears after driv- 
ing the horse for a while. If treatment is begun 
at the start it can usually be cured. Bathe the 
parts for two hours in hot water twice a day and 
then apply Gold Coin Resolvent to keep down the 
inflammation. Give complete rest until all tender- 
ness is removed, and turn the animal to grass for 
six to twelve weeks. It is well to put all spavined 
horses on Gold Coin Horse Tonic three times 
a day in their regular feed. This will keep up the 
constitutional strength of the animal; from prac- 
tical experience we know that blistering and burn- 
ing rarely cures. It does cure bog spavin, but 
not true bone spavin. Yet blistering often cures 
the lameness, but does not remove the bony 
growth or spavin. 

STONE BRUISES. 

Sometimes a sharp stone gets caught under the 
edge of the shoe and causes tenderness and in- 
flammation. Take out the stone and apply Gold 
Coin Foot Remedy freely to the sore spot and 
bottom of the foot t hree to fi ve times a day. 

Paying results from our Foods is what built 
up our enormous business. 



This is caused by the secretion of too much 
synovial fluid into the synovial sack at the hock 
joint. It is caused by inflammation and causes 
considerable enlargement of the joint. Gold Coin 
Resolvent will reduce the inflammation, absorb 
the fluid and cure the spavin in every instance, 
much better than with blisters or burning. 

BLOOD SPAVIN. 

Blood spavin and bog spavin are usually com- 
panions. The treatment is the same. Faithful use 
of Gold Coin Resolvent will efifect a cure. Give 
the horse Gold Medal Condition Powders to get 
the horse in the best condition and thus favor 
healing. 

RING BONE. 

'ihis is an enlargement of bone around the 
joint, caused usually by sprain or injury. When it 
occurs under the coronet it often becomes very 
large, causing lameness. Gold Coin Resolvent is 
the best treatment that can be used if begun early. 
When the disease has reached the second stage 
put the horse on three regular feeds a day of 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic to keep up good gen- 
eral health and favor healing. It wont remove 
the ring, but the horse will be sound enough for 
all practical purposes. You may use a blister. It 
helps sometimes.

DISEASES OF THE HORSE (Continued). 



GREASE HEEL. 

This disease is characterized by an ofifensive 
greasy discharge from just above the hoof. If 
"scratches" are not attended to they often cause 
grease heel by infection. In a great many cases 
a run down constitution and poor blood seems to 
be connected with this disease. If that is the 
case keep the horse in a warm, dry, clean, well 
bedded stall. Bathe the ankles freely with Gold 
Coin Healing Oil and apply Gold Coin Foot 
Remedy over the hoofs inside and out. Keep the 
greasy discharge washed from the Heelo, wipe 
dry and apply Gold Coin Healing Oil freely. 
For the constitution and blood give extra large 
feed of Gold Medal Condition Powders three 
times a day. Such treatment will build* up the 
system and cure the animal. Besides it saves oats. 
We guarantee every pound. Write to us. 

OPEN JOINTS. 

In severe cases there is a discharge of pus 
and synovial fluid from the joint. It is always 
advisable to call veterinary surgeons in these 
cases, as a neglect usually causes death. 



Never drive a heated horse into the river or 
other water or throw a bucket of water over the 
body. Rheumatism, pneumonia and other dis- 
eases may result. 



KNEE SPRUNG. 

If due to an injury begin the use of Gold Coin 
Resolvent at once. It has cured many such 
cases. As a rule but very little can be done for 
this trouble. It is sometimes congenital. In 
severe cases it completely ruins the horse, for 
it makes him stumble and fall from the least 
cause, sometimes even when standing undis- 
turbed. This falling on the knees is liable to 
cause "Broken Knee or Open Joint." Feed Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic regularly so your horses will 
get the full benefit of their feed and get strong 
constitutions so they can stand hard work. It 
pays to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It prevents 
diseases and saves oats. 

FISTULOUS WITHERS. 

Almost every case of fistulous withers re- 
quires the services of a veterinary surgeon. If 
not bad bathe the parts with a solution of Gold 
Coin Germ Killer, squeeze out the pus and wash 
thoroughly again and apply Gold Coin Healing 
Oil. This treatment has cured a number of cases. 



Your horse's feet make locomotion possible 
and constitute the value of your horse. Gold 
Coin Foot Remedy cures hoof diseases and all 
lameness due to hoof troubles.

'< NERVING." 

By Neurotomy or nerving a horse is meant 
cutting the nerve of sensation that goes to the 
foot. It is only done by dishonest men who 
have an incurably lame horse w^hich they want 
to sell. Cutting the nerve deadens the feeling at 
the foot so that even though the foot is sore and 
tender the horse steps on it as though he was 
not lame. To all appearances such a horse seems 
perfectly sound. But beware of such horses, 
because it is only a matter of time before the 
whole foot becomes an ulcerated sore and the 
entire animal is ruined. The nerves are usually 
cut three to five inches above the fetlock. In 
buying horses that you fear have been nerved 
be sure to test them by sticking them with a pin 
or knife below the fetlock to see if they feel it. 



BROKEN KNEES. 

This is not as severe as Open Joints, but 
means more particularly a cracking of the skin 
or a tearing of the membranes or ligiments over 
the knee joints. Use Gold Coin Healing Oil 
freely and it will cure most cases and prevent 
thickness of the joint. There is usually some 
other disease which causes the stumbling, as 
knee sprung, etc. 

All horses need a condition food like Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. It keeps them in perfect 
health and spirit. 



WIND-GALLS. 

This is a soft, puffy tumor about the size of a 
hickory nut, usually found near the fetlock joint 
in the foreleg. They are usually firm when the 
foot is down. As a rule they do not cause lame- 
ness. In old cases they become hard and some- 
times produce permanent lameness. Gold Coin 
Resolvent should be rubbed on to them thor- 
oughly twice a day and then bandaged tightly. 
In colts bathe the fetlocks freely with cold 
water, wipe them dry and apply Gold Coin Re- 
solvent freely. Bandage the legs. Give Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic. It purifies the blood and 
favors healing. 

SWEENY. 

Sweeny is detected by lameness and a ten- 
dency to drag the foreleg. It is due to a wast- 
ing of the shoulder muscles. Injuries to the 
shoulder are the common cause. Gold Coin 
Healing Oil should be rubbed into the shoulders 
thoroughly twice a day. Don't work the animal 
while under treatment, but it should have some 
exercise every day. Give Gold Coin Horse Tonic 
regularlv. It is a great muscle builder. Its bene- 
ficial influence on the muscular system helps 
greatly in the case of Sweeny. It is a great pre- 
ventative for Sweeny.

Rheumatism of Left Fore Shoulder. 

DISEASES OF THE HORSE (Continued). 

If you know ho"w to treat and cure your ow^n stock you -will save yourself many 
dollars every year. 



RHEUMATISM. 



Rheumatism gives the horse pain in the legs 
and joints. The severe pain makes the horse dis- 
inclined to move. Blanket the horse and keep 
him in a warm place. Feed well on large doses 
of Gold Medal Condition Powder, mixed in warm 
food, three times a day, and rub the affected 
parts four or five times a day with Gold Coin 
Healing Oil. The Gold Medal Condition Powder 
purifies the blood and eliminates the uric acid 
which causes rheumatism. When cured feed Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic, to keep up the constitution 
and your horse will stay well. 

QUITTOR-UMENESS. 

Quittor is the breaking out of sores at the 
upper part of the hoof, usually the result of a nail 
injury or corn.. The first symptoms are lameness 
with some swelling at the coronet. If allowed to 
run, pus will form and break through the swelling 
giving a discharge of matter. Sometimes canals 
or pipes will shoot out in several directions, giv- 
ing a very bad foot, in which case it should be 
opened at once and injected- thoroughly with a 
good healing lotion. Gold Coin Germ Killer 
four tablespoonfuls to a quart of warm water 
makes a good injection in these cases. But as 
soon as lameness begins, in the very start of the 
disease, apply Gold Coin Healing Oil very thor- 
oughly four or five times a day at the top of the 
hoof as well as underneath. This will usually 
effect a cure. Some very bad cases require the 
assistance of a veterinary surgeon. 



COCKED ANKLES-KNUCKLING. 

In this disease the fetlocks become knuckled 
over. 

Proper shoeing, bathing of the leg from the 
knee down in cold water, then wipe thoroughly 
dry and apply Gold Coin Resolvent freely and 
bandage will assist greatly in strengthening the 
ligaments. It may come from various causes, 
corns, injuries, navicular disease, etc. Give the 
horse Gold Coin Horse Tonic to get the con- 
stitution in better condition. It will save you 15 to 
25 per cent in feeding also. 

FRESH CUTS-BLEEDING. 

Stop the bleeding and protect the wound 
from infection. Even slight wounds if they 
should become infected may prove very serious. 

About Stopping Bleeding:, When an artery 
is injured the blood is of a bright red color; 
when a vein is cut the blood is dark colored. To 
stop bleeding- from a vein make pressure below 
the cut. To stop bleeding from an artery make 
pressure above the cut. In a large wound it is 
often necessary to catch up the arteries and 
veins with pinchers or forcepts and tie them in 
order to stop the bleeding. To dress a wound 
there is nothing so nice as Gold Coin Healing 
Oil. .If the wound is fresh apply a bandage 
over it. Our healing oil is the greatest cure in 
the world for barb wire wounds.

Syinptonis of Poll-Evil. 



DISEASES OF THE 



POLL EVIL. 



This is a running sore on top of the head. It 
often becomes very serious because the pus may 
burrow down into the bones of the head. Bathe 
the parts thoroughly with a solution of Gold 
Coin Germ Killer. One tablespoonful to a quart 
of water. Wipe it out dry and pack with ashes 
made from burned corn cobs and keep the horse 
on tablespoonful doses of our Gold Medal Con- 
dition Powder, three times a day, to build up 
the constitution. If this does not cure, clean up 
the sore thoroughly and send for a veterinary 
surgeon. 

CURB. 

This happens when the ligaments of the hock 
become sprained. While inflammation is present 
there is lameness, but when it becomes chronic 
there is usually no lameness. Curb can usually 
be cured if prompt attention is given in the be- 
ginning. Give the animal absolute rest, raise 
the heel and rub thoroughly twice a day with 
Gold Coin Resolvent. This usually cures in one 
to two weeks. In serious cases in the chronic 
stage it is sometimes advisable to blister or use 
the firing iron, but it is best for a A^eterinary sur- 
geon to do it. 

CORNS ON THE FEET. 

Corns usually come from contraction of the 
foot or from improper shoeing — that is, uneven 
pressure of the shoe. 

If there is too-much pressure on the quarters 
and heel it allows the soft parts underneath to be- 
come bruised and results in a corn. Corns can al- 
ways be cured by timely use of Gold Coin Foot 
Remedy, and proper shoeing. You can't neglect

HORSE (Continued). 

BRONCHITIS. 

The lungs and air passages of a horse are 
subject to bronchitis, catarrh and pneumonia. If 
bronchitis is taken at once it can usually be 
cured in a few days with Gold Coin Lung and 
Cough Cure. Give it four times a day until 
cured. If neglected bronchitis results in serious 
cough, fever, inflammation, pneumonia and death. 
In these cases always give Gold Medal Condition 
Powders. It strengthens the constitution and en- 
ables the animal to throw oflf the disease more 
quickly. 

QUINSY. 

Give Gold Coin Lung and Cough Cure four 
times a day. It is easy to give and very sooth- 
ing to the animal. Rub the outside of the throat 
well from ear to ear, with Gold Coin Healing 
Oil, three or four times a day. but do not band- 
age it. Keep up the strength of the system with 
Gold Medal Condition Powders. The horse will 
get well quicker. It keeps the blood, liver and 
bowels clean and drives out the inflammatory 
poisons. . 

CONTRACTION OF THE FOOT. 

Use Gold Coin Foot Remedy on the sole and 
frog of the foot, also on the outside of the hoof so 
as to keep it healthy and growing and you will 
never get contraction of the foot. Corns, Nav- 
icular Disease, improper shoeing, leaving the 
shoes on too long, and founder are among the 
causes. But any chronic lameness which causes 
the horse to favor the foot will cause contraction 
of the hoof from lack of use. Full directions for 
treating contraction of the foot given on every 
can of Gold Coin Foot Remedy. 



Gold Coin Horse Tonic is the cheapest and 
best Tonic food ever discovered for horses, 15 
cents a month or four feeds for a cent is induce- 
ment enough to make any humane man feed it 
to his horses all the time, and thus keep them in 
the pink of condition, full of life, spirit and energy 
— free from disease, and ready for work whenever 
you want them.

Early Symptoms of Founder (Liaminitis). 



DISEASES OF THE HORSE (Continued). 



FOUNDER. 



This disease may come from overwork, conges- 
tion or inflammation of the feet or from som~e in- 
ternal disease as congestion of the lungs, inflam- 
mation of the bowels, and sometimes by drinking 
cold water while the horse is warm. The scientific 
name is Laminitis. 

THE SYMPTOMS.— The horse constantly 
tries to throw his weight on his back feet, he re- 
fuses to lift his feet; he seems in great pain and is 
unable to back. It usually afifects the forelegs, 
but it may affect any. 

TREATMENT. — If feverishness appears give 
twelve drops of tincture of aconite root in a half 
a pint of water three times a day for two or three 
days. Remove the shoes from the horse and soak 
the feet for two hours in hot water. Then wipe 
them thoroughly dry and bathe the legs from 
knee down three times a day with Gold Coin 
Healing Oil, but do not bandage the legs. Use 
Gold Coin Foot Remedy freely all over the hoofs 
both inside and outside four times a day. Keep 
up this treatment until the horse is cured. If it is 
a bad case it may take from forty to sixty days. 
"As the horse's feet feel sore and weak he will have 
a tendency to lie down most of the time, so keep 
the stall well bedded with straw. Feed bran 
mashes, hay ©r grass. Give plenty of cold water 
to drink as it helps to relieve the fever. Give the 
horse "Gold Medal Condition Powder," a table- 
spoonful, three times a day in his feed as long 
as he is sick, it is important. Then begin the reg- 
ular feeding of Gold Coin Horse Tonic. The reg- 
ular use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic strengthens 
the constitution, and thus prevents the liability of 
a return of founders. Some cases of founder are 
incurable. 



When any o£ your stock are sick you may 
write our Veterinary Department for free advice. 



QUARTER CRACKS, SAND CRACKS. 

And all injuries to the hoofs caused by driving on 
hard dry roads. The hoofs of race horses must al- 
ways be watched very closely for cracks. Gold 
Coin Foot Remedy is what drivers have always 
been wanting. It cures cracks, keeps the hoofs 
soft and elastic and in good growing condition all 
the time. If used occasionally, as should be done 
on all horses, it prevents quarter and sand cracks 
and keeps the foot healthy. Complete directions 
for curing cracks are given on every can of Gold 
Coin Foot Remedy. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is 
a food as well as a medicine. Horses eat less, but 
get more good out of their food. It keeps the 
whole constitution in perfect condition and the 
hoofs give less trouble. 

CURE OF SEEDY TOE. 

Clear away the brittle hoof and apply Gold 
Coin Foot Remedy thoroughly. If there is room 
enough saturate a piece of tow with our Foot 
Remedy and keep it against the hoof all the time 
until well. Seedy toe is usually caused by the 
clip of the shoe being accidentally pounded into 
the foot, thus bruising the hoof, which often 
causes a dry rot. Always attend to these little 
injuries at once or the horse will run down. 

INJURIES FROM NAILS. 

A horse may step on a nail and be suddenly 
lamed, or the nail from the shoe may have been 
so driven as to touch the sensitive part of the foot. 
Whenever your horse becomes suddenly lame ex- 
amine the foot. If you find a nail pull it out at 
once so it won't get broken ofif in the foot. 
Clean out the hole well with hot water, then 
wipe it dry and pour Gold Coin Healing Oil over 
the sole of the foot and into the hole. Hold the 
foot up for a while so as to let it soak in, and 
thus keep down inflammation.

The General Symptoms of Distemper, Pink Eye and Epizootic. 

DISEASES OFiTHE HORSE (Continued). 



DISTEMPER. 

Also called "strangles." This is a contagious, 
though not severe disease, commonly affecting 
young horses. It is ushered in with chills, 
feverishness, sore throat, loss of appetite, and 
discharge from the nose. The horse becomes 
dull and weak, and loses strength very rapidly. 
Neck sore and stiflf. sometimes an abcess forms 
at the neck. 

Treatment: Give the animal four to six 
tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Cold and Distemper 
Cure four times a day, and rub the throat freely 
four times a day with Gold Coin Healing Oil. If 
the lungs seem to be affected also, give 2 to 4 
tablespoonfuls "Gold Coin Cough and Lung 
Cure," in connection with the "Cold and Distem- 
per Cure." Always look for lung trouble in the 
begining of distemper. If the bowels become con- 
stipated, use injections. Feed bran mashes, boiled 
oats, grass or anything it will eat. Don't give 
cold water to drink. Keep the animal warm. Be 
sure to do this, as more cold will make it worse. 
Don't work him. Give Gold Medal Condition 
Powders with his regular feed. (Directions for 
treatment on every package.) It strengthens the 
system and enables the horse to pass through the 
disease without danger. It will also shorten the 
attack considerably. As soon as the horse is well 
it pays to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic regularly, 
because we guarantee that it not only will prevent 
disease but it will save 15 to 25 per cent of the 
feed. If you have never used it write to us. 

ACUTE CATARRH. 

Catarrh causes a discharge from the horse's 
or colt's nose. The discharge is usually thin and 
milky. Put the animal on two measurefuls of 
Gold Medal Conditon Powders twice a day at first 
and after a week three times a day. It will cure 
the disease. When the horse is well begin the 
regular use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It will 
not only keep the horse well but it saves grain. 



PINK EYE, EPIZOOTIC. 

Severe cold in the head, pinkeye, epizootic, 
and influenza are terms used by stockmen which 
are all about the same and are curable under the 
following treatment. Properly speaking influenza 
is epidemic and often effects whole districts. 

THE SYMPTOMS: It begins with feverish- 
ness, chills, general weakness, loss of appetite, 
discharge from the nose, quick pulse, watery 
eyes, the eyes turn red, the horse desires to lie 
down, in case the lungs become affected the 
tendency then is to stand and the animal fails 
very rapidly. 

TREATMENT: If very feverish give fluid 
extract of belladonna and tincture of aconite root 
each one ounce mixed in a pint of water; shake 
well and give a tablespoonful every hour until 
fever subsides. Keep the animal warm with 
blankets and in a warm stall where there are no 
draughts. Apply Gold Coin Healing Oil freely 
to the throat outside, and all along the neck and 
between the forelegs twice a day. If it appears 
that the lungs are affected also rub it over the 
chest, back of the forelegs, very freely, and give 
Gold Coin Lung and Cough Cure three times a 
day, until the lung symptoms disappear. Give 
plenty of cold water to drink and anything the 
horse will eat. Continue the use of the "Lung 
and Cough Cure," until the horse is all well. Be- 
cause as well as curing the cold it also tones up 
the system and helps to restore the animal to 
health. It is a good tonic for general purposes. 
A large measure of Gold Medal Condition Pow- 
der should be mixed in every feed given the horse, 
and let him eat as often as he likes. Tempt his 
appetite with anythirtg he will eat. 

CHRONIC CATARRH— GLEET. 

Nasal Gleet usually requires a veterinary sur- 
geon, as the disease involves the sinuses of 
head. Gold Medal Condition Powders will im- 
prove the constitu-tion and help to quicken the 
cure.

Therefore

prompt 
attention. 
See below. 




Sarly Symptoms of Pneumonia. 



^M "^ 



nDISEASES OF THE HORSE-Continued. 



PNEUMONIA. 

If a cold is neglected or the horse has had too 
severe exposure or is badly run down otherwise, 
it is liable to run into pneumonia. In pneumonia 
the horse has a severe chill and shivers hard. A 
sweat in the barn at this stage with warm 
Ma"Veting afterwards, and a large dose of Gold 
Medal Condition Powder, may break this up. If 
not the symptoms progress. Appetite is almost 
entirely lost, more or less high fever comes on; 
the horse stands with head down, legs spread and 
breathes with difficulty; the legs and ears are cold 
and the whole appearance is that of a very sick 
horse (notice above picture). Put him in a warm 
stable, but let in enough air for good ventilation 
without any draft on the horse; blanket him, and 
if his fever is very high get the following at the 
drug store: 

Tincture of Aconite Root; oz. I. 

Fluid Extract of Belladonna; oz. II. 

Water to make oz. XVI. 

Mix and give tablespoonful every two hours 
till the fever is reduced. 

But whether you find the horse feverish 
enough to give the above or not, start in at once 
you discover the sickness to give Gold Coin 
Cough and Lung Syrup, one-half a pint, and four 
times a day, about three hours apart, continue 
giving it in four to six tablespoonful doses till 
the symptoms are all better and then give only 
two tablespoonfuls three times a day and con- 
tinue till the patient has entirely recovered. For 
external treatment, begin right after the first 
dose of Gold Coin Cough and Lung Syrup and 
rub the sides and body of the horse back of the 
shoulders and forelegs with Gold Coin Healing 
Oil, for fifteen minnutes, rubbing it thoroughly. 
Do not bind the blanket on too tightly after- 
wards over where the oil is rubbed on, for 
the oil is very penetrating and if bandaged or 
bound on too tightly, it might blister the skin. 
After this first application apply the Healing Oil 
once a day, but do not rub in. 

Let the horse have all the water he wants to 
drink, not too cold, but cool, and feed lightly on 
grain with a tablespoonful of Gold Medal Con- 



dition Powders. It helps the digestion and sup- 
ports the strength of the horse. It will greatly 
aid in shortening and keeping the attack milder. 
After the horse is well begin the regular feeding 
of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, to make the horse 
strong again. 

STOCKING. 

This trouble shows itself in the form of a 
swelling below the hock and knee. It is usually 
due to standing. Rub thoroughly with Gold Coin 
Resolvent and bandage tightly. 



ROARING. 

Or Laryngitis, is an inflammation of the 
throat. Give Gold Coin Cough and Lung Cure 
four times a day and apply Gold Coin Healing 
Oil very freely to the outside of the throat, but 
do not bandage it. Chronic Roaring is almost 
incurable. The above treatment will cure acute 
Roaring in a few days. Then begin the regular 
use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic to strengthen the 
lungs and internal organs. It makes the entire 
animal stronger, and saves grain. 



CALK INJURIES. 

Caused by the calk of the shoe injuring the 
coronet on the other feet. Clean the wounds with 
warm water twice a day and apply Gold Coin 
Healing Oil. Use Gold Coin Foot Remedy once 
a day for the hoof inside and outside. 



STONE INJURIES. 

It often happens that lameness or inflamma- 
tion of the foot will come from stepping on a 
small stone or gravel. Sometimes when neglected 
the gravel will work up through the foot, causing 
a sore on the top. Clean the hoof, pare out the 
hole, remove the gravel and wash thoroughly by 
syringing it out with warm water. And then 
syringe Gold Coin Foot Remedy into the injury 
twice a day. Keep up this treatment until cured. 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic should be fed to all 
horses. It saves oats. It pays for itself quickly 
by the gain in appearance.

DISEASES OF THE HORSE (Continued). 



HEAVES. 



Heaves result when horses are overworked 
or worked too long hours when overtired or in 
a run-down condition. Any horse can be given 
the heaves by driving him too fast when his 
storq,ach is full just after feeding. Gold Coin 
Heave Cure will relieve and cure all but the very 
worst cases. It is the best and cheapest heave 
cure. It is a recent discovery and is curing cases 
which all other remedies have failed to touch. 
A horse with heaves treated by Gold Coin Heave 
Cure and fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic will 
soon be as good as ever and command a good 
price after any kind of a test. When heaves are 
due to heart disease nothing can cure them. Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic does more to prevent heaves 
than any other remedy. It digests the food and 
keeps the lungs and nerves strong. The horses 
eat less oats and get more good from them. It 
saves 15 to 25 per cent of feed. Some horsemen 
say it saves 50 per cent. We guarantee it. Write 
to us and test it. Full directions for treatment of 
Heaves given on every package of Heave Pow- 
der. 

CANKER. 

Cut away the unhealthy parts and use Gold 
Coin Foot Remedy on the inside and outside of 
the foot. In canker it is the soft part of the foot 
that is affected, it becomes enlarged and spongy. 
Gold Coin Foot Remedy prevents these diseases. 
Regular use of it keeps horses' hoofs in a healthy 
growing condition, and canker and similar dis- 
eases cannot arise. 



HOW IT SAVES OATS. 

Gold Coin Horse Tonic is a food as well as 
a medicine. Horses eat less and get more good 
out of what they eat. It keeps the constitution 
in perfect condition, and it prevents diseases. No 
man is feeding scientifically who does not use 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It is guaranteed to 
save 15 to 25 per cent of feed. Write to us and 
test it on our Spot Cash Guarantee, 



GALLS AND SORES. 

Different horses have different kinds of skins 
just as neople do. Some are thin and delicate, some 
course and tough, others inclined to pimples and 
boils and various kinds of sores. The thin 
skinned horse chafes easily, particularly if not in 
perfect condition. Ill fitting collars will cause a 
gall on such a horse almost certainly. Some 
horses gall every summer even if pains is taken 
to prevent it. Always have a box of Gold Coin 
Gall Cure on hand and apply it the instant you 
discover a gall on your horse. It is a sure, quick 
cure and we guarantee it to do as we say. Make 
3'our collars and harness fit well and set easy 
and keep them well washed of sweat, use good 
sweat pads. Treated with Gold Coin Gall Cure, 
chafed and galled horses will get well quickly 
even while kept at work. Horses that gall easily 
will frequently get entirely over it when given 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic regularly. It strength- 
ens the whole system, toughens the skin and 
makes the muscles more solid. Besides pre- 
venting diseases it saves oats. We guarantee it 
to be a money-saver. 

CATARRH. 

They shiver at first with a slight chill, be- 
come dull and listless in action, and have a slight 
fever and loss of appetite. A thin mucous dis- 
charge comes from the nostrils. Do not neglect 
your horse now. Give him at once Gold Coin 
Cough and Lung Syrup, blanket him warmly, 
and let him rest in the stable. The syrup is 
very easy to give because horses like it, and un- 
less the horse has something more serious than 
a simple cold, the above treatment is all he needs 
to cure him in 24 to 48 hours. Give him a table- 
spoonful of Gold Medal Condition Powder until 
cured. Then begin to feed three times a day 
regularly on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It keeps 
their constitution strong and they will not take 
colds and Catarrh so easily. 

Clipped horses always ought to be fed Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic to ward off rheumatism and 
pneumonia.

"Down and Out" with Colic. 



DISEASES OF THE HORSE-(Continued.) 

WIND OR GAS COLIC. SPASMODIC COLIC. 



Almost anybody knows colic when they see 
it. The first thing to think of is the treatment. 
Gold Coin Colic Cure is absolutely guaranteed 
to cure wind or gas colic in five to ten minutes, 
your money refunded if it ever fails. Wind, gas, 
or flatulent colic, all of which mean the same 
thin'g, is really an acute case of indigestion, in 
which the act of digestion has been stopped. Gas 
forms from the fermentation of the food, caus- 
ing the horse to bloat and putting him in great 
pain and agony. If severe it may kill the animal 
in thirty minutes. It is commonly caused by hard 
working or driving after a hearty meal, especi- 
ally if much corn has been fed. Gold Coin Colic 
Cure is put up in long necked bottles ready for 
instant use the minute you pull the cork. Don't 
wait until your horse has the colic before buy- 
ing. Buy a bottle and have it on hand all the 
time. So that the moment any of your horses 
get colic you will have the remedy on hand. Be- 
cause your horse may die while you are sending 
to town for an effective remedy. Try a bottle 
of it. If it ever fails it costs you nothing. Use 
it in time. Our guarantee is on the label of every 
bottle. It cures gas colic, spasmodic colic, flatu- 
lent colic, acute indigestion, grain founder, bloat, 
stoppage of water. 

SCALDS, BURNS, BRUISES. 

Gold Coin Healing Oil is the proper remedy 
for all such wounds. It cures_ quickly, relieves 
all pain and soreness and prevents outside infec- 
tion. 

HIDE BOUND. 

This condition is usually due to a run down 
constitution. Usually no specific medicine is 
necessary. Give the animal regular exercise, 
keep him in a dry clean stable and give him two 
large feeds of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and two 
tablespoonfuls of Gold Medal Condition Powder 
mixed together with his wet oats three times a 
day and you will always effect a cure in a short 
time. It will put him in fine condition. As soon 
as he is up to the proper standard of health feed 
him one measureful of "Horse Tonic" twice a 
day as directed for healthy horses and he will 
stay fine on less oats. 



Colic needs prompt attention. The symptoms 
are severe pains in the belly, letting up at times 
but beginning again. Often the abdomen bloats. 
Don't wait for it to get any worse. Begin the 
prompt use of Gold Coin Colic Cure at once. Be- 
cause colic may kill your horse in a few hours. 
Colic is usually caused by drinking very cold 
water too soon when warm. Sometimes it comes 
from eating or drinking tt)0 fast. We guarantee 
Gold Coin Colic Cure to cure colic in five to ten 
minutes. If you feed your horses Gold Coin 
Horse Tonic they will not get colic. It pro- 
motes digestion. It saves oats and is guaranteed 
to save you money. The horse eats less but gets 
more good out of his feed. 

COUGH. 

Inflammation of the membranes of the bron- 
chial tubes and lungs. In chronic cough the 
horse has spells of coughing. Don't neglect such 
a cough. It injures the value of the horse. Give 
four tablespoons of Gold Coin Cough and Lung 
Cure four times a day until cured, and give the 
horse Gold Coin Horse Tonic regularly for a 
time to tone up the whole system and get the 
horse in good condition and strong constitution. 

MANGE-RINGWORM. 

These diseases are due to a microscopic 
acarus, or parasite. These parasites dig under 
the skin and cause scabs to form which later 
causes the hair to fall out, there is intense itch- 
ing. The animal is constantly trying to rub it- 
self. Be careful not to get any of these para- 
sites on yourself because they will cause ring- 
worm and if they get into your scalp will some- 
times be very annoying and difficult to cure. Gold 
Coin Germ Killer is sure death to these para- 
sites. Mix it according to the direction on the 
can and wash the affected part of the horse. If 
necessary wash the horse all over. It is very 
easy to use and is a sure cure. This disease 
usually begins on the neck or shoulders but it 
may cover the entire body. Always feed Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic to purify the blood and 
strengthen the constitution. It will save feed 
and your horse gets more good out of his feed.

Symptoms of Kidney and Bladder Trouble. 



KIDNEY AND BLADDER 
TROUBLE. 

In inflammation of the bladder and kidneys, 
the animal has colicky pains, painful and frequent 
urination (passing of water), looks around at his 
flanks, later profuse sweating, and pain over kid- 
neys, quick pulse, fever, and the horse takes an 
attitude similar to that shown in the above pic- 
ture. There is extreme pain or pressure over the 
loins, and a straddling of the hind legs when 
walked. It is commonly caused by the giving of 
strong drugs as Rosin, Saltpetre, Turpentine, 
Croton Oil, etc. 




If tiie case 
is very 
severe, call 
a veterinary, 
[his disease 
Is dangerous 
to life. 



TREATMENT.— Keep the horse in a warm 
stable, well blanketed and wrap woolen cloths 
around loins. Give at once: 

Gold Medal Condition Powder, one tablespoonful. 
Powdered aloes, . . . three teaspoonfuls. 

Calomel, one teaspoonful. 

Mix and give in one dose in a ball. 

Give no violent or irritating diuretics as Salt- 
petre, Kosin, Cantharides, etc. Give injections of 
tepid water' into bowels. And give: 

Extract Belladonna, . . half teaspoonful. 

Sweet Spirits of Nitre, one oz. (tw^o tablespoonfuls). 

Give in a drench with a quart of cold linseed tea. 

If the horse does not improve rapidly under 
the above treatment call a veterinary, as this is a 
somewhat rare disease and hard to understand 
by those who are not physicians. It often proves 
fatal. 

NAVICULAR TROUBLE (LAMENESS). 

THE SYMPTOMS. There is a slight lame- 
ness when you first take the animal out of the 
barn, but which disappears after the animal trav- 
els a while. 

Navicular disease is very likely to be the 
trouble whenever there is an obscure lameness in 
either of the front feet. It may be caused by a 
sprain; by a bruise on the frog; by stepping on a 
stone; by contraction of the hoofs; by improper 
shoeing; by cutting away the frog so much that it 
does not touch the ground and other injuries. 

TREATMENT.— Use Gold Coin Healing Oil 
twice a day from the knee down, but do not band- 
age afterwards. Wash the foot in hot water 
thoroughly, wipe dry and apply Gold Coin Foot 
Remedy freely all over the hoof inside and out- 
side four times a day. Do not work the horse un- 
til all lameness disappears. Turn him out to grass 
after four days of above treatment. Attend to the 
resetting of his shoe every four weeks. Begin the 
above treatment at the very earliest stage of the 
disease and you will nearly always efTect a cure. 
Very bad cases give a great deal of trouble.

Signs and Symptoms of Blood Poison. 



GLANDERS AND FARCY. 

These diseases are contagious, constitutional 
diseases due to a special bacterium. The poison 
generated by the bacteria is absorbed and carried 
all over the body. When this disease attacks the 
lungs, lymphatic glands and nose, it is called the 
glanders; and called farcy when it is confined to 
the legs. The same bacteria causes both diseases, 
the difiference of symptoms being due to the dif- 
ference of location. Symptoms are as follows in 
glanders: Fever with quickened pulse; weeping 
eyes; discharging nose, first thin and watery, 
changing to yellow and smelling very bad; lining 
of nostrils purple; hair gummed together where 
discharge strikes it, and discharge sink-s in water; 
glands swell under the jaw and form and break 
on partition of nose, making ulcers which spread, 
unite and eat away the lining; there is coughing 
and sneezing, poor appetite and loss of weight. 
Farcy symptoms are: Swelling on legs along 
long wavy lymphatic ducts which break out in 
ulcers, discharge a foul smelling matter, crust 
over and dry up and gradually spread till legs, 
body and neck are a mass of running or scabby 
ulcers. The instant a horse shows signs of 
glanders or farcy, isolate him in a pen by him- 
self, or warm shed in winter, and send for a 
veterinary surgeon. The instant you know for 
sure the horse has either disease, shoot him and 
burn the carcass with the shed or pen he was in. 
Not only will the virus infect your other horses, 
but may attack people as well any time inside of 
a year or eighteen months, so virulent is the 
poison. There is no other treatment safe or of 
the least value besides instant death and total 
destruction by fire. 

Why not have your horses look as well and 
be as valuable as any one's?

The Farmer's Friend. 

Saves corn, oats and fodder. 



There are many different kinds of worms 
that give trouble to horses. Some of them grow 
to a length of four feet and more, others are very 
small. They enter the stomach and are often 
quite dangerous. 

Symptoms of Worms: Like in "bots," the 
horse becomes "pot-bellied." The hair becomes 
dry and rough, and the appetite ravenous. The 
horse will gnaw at the manger and rub its upper 
lip against the wall or posts. 

Treatment: ISIever neglect the horse in this 
condition. There is no need for any horse to 
suffer from worms one day because we absolutely 
guarantee Gold Coin Worm Powder to expel 
worms of all kinds quickly and safely, and it also 
contains ingredients that will tone up the stomach 
and cure the disturbance which allowed the for- 
mation of worms in the stomach. It is a safe 
and positive cure and we cheerfully refund the 
money in any case if it ever fails. Write to us. 
Full directions for treatment given on every 
package. 

BOTS. 

As every one knows, all horses that run to 
pasture have bots in their stomach, but they are 
not dangerous unless they accumulate in large 
quantities. They are caused by the gad fly de- 
positing its eggs among the hair on the forelegs 
of the horse. The itching causes the horse to 
bite at the spot, thus the eggs get into his mouth 
where the heat and moisture hatches them and 
they pass down into the stomach where, with 
two little hooks, they attach themselves to the 
walls of the stomach and often hang there for 
months. Horses seriously affected with bots 
become "pot-bellied," their coat of hair becomes 
rough and they lose flesh. Give them a good 
dose of Gold Coin Worm Powder. It expels all 
bots and worms, corrects the digestion and puts 
the stomach in a het^lthy condition. Use Gold 
Coin Worm Powder for worms in any of your 
animals. It is perfectly safe and a sure cure. 
Gold Coin Horse Tonic fed regularly prevents 
worms. Use it regularly, it also saves you 15 to 
25 per cent of feed. We guarantee paying re- 
sult^. If vou have never used it, write to us.

PLEURISY. 

Pleurisy seldom exists alone. It accompanies 
pneumonia usually, though the symptoms are 
nearly all milder, the breathing is apt to be more 
labored. Pleurisy is inflammation of the mem- 
brane covering the lung. Give the same treat- 
ment as for pneumonia. Your horse fed on Gold 
Coin Horse Tonic regularly there is little chance 
that any horse will develop pleurisy or pneumonia 
except from extreme carelessness or neglect. It 
saves money by saving oats. If it doesn't make 
you 15 to 25 per cent gains it will cost you noth- 
ing. Write to us. 

HORSES THAT SHY. 

Shying horses can always be cured, provided 
that they are not nearsighted. Never show 
nervousness on your own part or whip the horse 
after shying, on the contrary, show him what he 
shyed at will not injure him. If you whip or 
jerk him when he shys he will soon come to fear 
that every time he shys he will be whipped and 
this will make him doubly scared. Handle him 
with common sense and teach him to overcome 
his fears. Never jerk or whip any horse whether 
they have a fight to be scared or not, for if he 
once comes to believe that he will be whipped 
every time he shys he will soon be almost un- 
manageable. 



STRING HALT. 

There is usually no use trying to cure this 
affliction as it is a nervous disease. The best re- 
sults will be obtained by giving the legs from 
the hip down a thorough rubbing twice a day 
with Gold Coin Resolvent and keeping the hoof 
and frog well painted with Gold Coin Foot 
Remedy to keep it from getting diseased by the 
excessive pounding. Gold Coin Horse Tonic acts 
on the nervous system and greatly benefits these 
horses so it can hardly be noticed.

HOW CHICKENS ARE KILLED AND CLEANED AT THE UNION STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO, U. S. A. 

BIG MONEY IN POULTRY. 

Over $500,000,000.00 Worth of Poultry Consumed in the U. S. Yearly. 



Government statistics show that the yearly egg 
produce is $300,000,000 and the poultry meat is 
over $200,000,000 making poultry produce over 
$500,000,000 annually. This is more than the 
value of the wheat crop or oats, corn and hay 
combined, and yet we have to import poultry 
produce from Europe to supply the demand. 
Poultry raisers and farmers, you should consider 
this. Notice the profits, in poultry over wheat: 

Wheat doesn't always clear $5.00 an acre af- 
ter you take out the cost of harvesting, etc. 
Corn, oats, and hay are not much better. But 
grant that in a successful year your wheat netted 
clear profit $5.00 per acre, the difference in favor 
of your acre of hens at almost their worst would 
be $495. 

Five hundred hens can be kept on an acre of 
land. Each hen will produce $1.00 to $2.00 a 
year, that is $500 to $1,000 and if managed suc- 
cessfully should easily net $500 clear profits, a 
diflference of $495 in favor of hens. I know of 
poultry raisers whose hens produce an average 
of $3 a year. 

ilie poultry business is now just coming un- 
der the same conditions which revolutionized the 
meat industry in the last 25 years. Cold storage 
and refrigerator transportations are opening pos- 
sibilities in poultry production and distribution" 
that will tremendously increase the importance of 
the industry in the next ten years. Under old 
conditions poultry consumed in any section of 
the country was of local production because 
chickens could not stand long shipments in the 
living state, with refrigeration will come a change, 
both in production and distribution. Pro- 
duction instead of being confined to localities in 
ready touch with markets, will concentrate in the 
districts wherc^poultry can be produced most 
cheaply. In other words the center of production 
as in the case of beef, will be near the grain fields 
and especially in the corn belt. In the past chick- 
ens have either been shipped alive to market. cen- 
ters, to be killed just before being offered to the 
consumers, or killed on the farm and shipped to 
the commission man for immediate disposition. 
From an economic standpoint either method is 
wasteful. The by-products in the shape of feath- 
ers and internal organs are practica-lly wasted. 

Chicken slaughter on a large scale is already 
practiced at Western points like Chicago, Omaha 
and Kansas City, where Armour and Swift and 



other great meat packers are engaging in the 
business with their wealth of money, experience, 
and facilities for distribution. On the scale on 
which these operations are conducted, the chances 
of economy in utilizing of by-products are so 
great that these operators can offer prices for 
chickens which cannot be met by local buyers 
and commission shippers. These big packing 
concerns have regular routes over which chicken 
cars are run at stated intervals, gathering up fowls 
from local buyers. The Slaughter is continuous 
without regard to immediate market demand, the 
surplus being stored in refrigeration to be drawn 
against at those seasons when the supply of live 
fowls is small. This tends to equalize conditions 
throughout the whole year. 

This new branch of the packing industry will 
furnish, as in the case of cattle a steady market for 
all grades of poultry in any quantity and at all 
times, and the result will be that poultry raising 
will bring more profits to the small raiser as well- 
as the large raiser if they practice economy in 
feeding. 

It has come to this point, nowadays, that the 
poultry raiser, who does not use some reliable 
poultry food in feeding his chickens, turkeys, 
ducks and geese, during the winter and spring 
months at least, cannot compete' with his neigh- 
bor that does. Grain, seeds, bran, etc., cost 
money, and if you can double the feeding value 
of these feeds, by using a small quantity of poul- 
try food to mix with the feeding rations it will 
pay you to investigate the matter and try it. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food has the endorsement 
of many of the largest poulterers in the East and 
West. 

It was reported during the month of January, 
1903, that over 1,000,000 pounds of dressed poul- 
try was in cold storage in the city of Indianapolis, 
Ind., waiting the spring trade. Half the amount 
was held by New York dealers. Turkeys com- 
posed about one-half the supply and the specu- 
lators who had them in storage expected to get 
an average of 30 cents a pound for them next 
March. This immense stock was bought up 
chiefly from the local poultry raisers. 

The following pages are devoted to money mak- 
ing in Poultry, and will be valuable to any Poultry 
raiser. All the pictures are selected, by permission, 
from the U. S. Agriculture Dept., to illustrate the 
various breeds, etc. •

THE PLYMOUTH ROCK. 

Here is a breed that will bring you money. 
The purer the breed the better. They are the 
best breed for the farmer. Notice these points: 
Feed them regularly on Gold Coin Poultry Food, 
one measureful to every 15 fowls, so as to keep 
their egg-laying machinery in active condition, 
and they make fine layers, setters and mothers. 
They commence to lay at .5 to 6 months of age. 
Feed the little chicks on Gold Coin Poultry Food 
(one measureful to every 30) and in 7 to 8 weeks, 
they make fine plump 2-lb. broilers, and if hatched 
early, bring enormous profits. Weight at full 
growth, 8 to 12 lbs. See an article on "How to 
raise Broilers," page 131, in another part of this 
book. It tells you how to feed scientifically. 




THE BLACK SPANISH FOWLS. 

If you have Black Spanish fowls, try feeding 
them on Gold Coin Poultry Food. It will make 
excellent layers of them. The hens often lay 200 
eggs, each, a year. They make poor mothers and 
setters. They need generous feeding and need to 
be well protected in damp and cold weather. 

MONEY IN EGGS. 

Chemical science has discovered the ingredi- 
ents of eggs, the yolk, white and shell (all of 
which ingredients are combined in our Special 
Poultry Food). Given a hen in a healthy condi- 
tion and put into her the ingredients that go to 
form eggs and she has got to lay. This is scientific 
feeding, and is accomplished 
by feeding Gold Coin Special 
Poultry Food according to the 
directions given for "Feeding 
y for Eggs" described in this

FINE BROILERS FOR THE MARKET 
BRING BIG PROFITS. 

GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD 
Makes the flesh of the birds plump, firm and of 
fine color; when dressed and hung out for sale, 
they attract the attention of the buyers by their 
healthy, sweet and tender looking meat. Com- 
pared with the dull, colorless meat and thin flabby 
carcasses of the other birds raised in a careless 
way. it is no wonder that "Gold Coin fed broilers" 
command the best prices and are most easily sold. 
Tnis great Poultry Food also gives the flesh a 
finer flavor and texture — tender and juicy, and 
there is more of it on broilers that have been 
raised on this Food. If you are raising broilers 
for your own use, test Gold Coin Special Poultry 
Food and note the great difference in the taste. 
On the same policy, if you are raising broilers for 
the early market or for high prices, give your 
customers fine, healthy birds, and they will want 
more — which puts more money in your pocket. 

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING MAKES YOUR 
HENS LAY. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food stimulates and in- 
creases the formation of eggs. It puts hens in 
condition and makes them lay MORE eggs — and 
KEEPS them laying. Get a package (25c package 
1,500 feeds for one hen) and begin using it at 
once. The expense of feeding is almost nothing 
and it will often more than double the number of 
eggs. Only one extra egg in two months will 
get you the entire feeding free. It will pay you 
to test Gold Coin Poultry Food on your chickens 
— it often triples the production of eggs. It is the 
greatest egg producer in the world and is sold on

THE BUFF COCHIN FOWLS. 



This is a very large fowl. If fed properly, 
they reach an average weight of 10 to 15 lbs. 
There is no fowl which demands the use of GoM 
Coin Poultry Food as much as the Cochin. It is 
so large and fattens so quickly that it is subject 
to plethoric disturbances, such as Brain Conges- 
tion, Apoplexy, etc. Gold Coin Poultry Food 
keeps the bowels regular, the blood cool, cures the 
Congestion and makes the fowl strong and healthy. 
Cochins are the largest of the barn-yard chick- 
ens, and are very, very profitable when fed on 



Gold Coin Poultry Food to increase laying. They 
are sturdy, easy to raise, rapidly developed, and 
quickly fattened. Like the Brahmas, they are 
GOOD WINTER LAYERS, good setters and 
mothers. The chicks grow so rapidly that they 
are always a source of great profit to poulterers. 
Poulterers are reporting from almost all parts of 
the country that the use of Gold Coin Poultry 
Food makes them from 15 to 25 per cent-— some 
say even 50 per cent — more profit from their poul- 
try raising than before. 



FEEDING FOR EGGS. 

Feeding is an important subject to poultry 
raisers. All who make any pretense of keeping 
pace with the advance "of science learns and reads 
of something new almost every day in the diet of 
poultry and cattle as well as people. In this day 
and age, with everybody striving to be in the lead 
one must use extraordinary measures to keep 
even with his intelligent neighbors. You must 
know just what and how to feed to make hens 
lay — or to make them fat — or to make them 
strong and vigorous (for breeders). 

But this little article is on feeding for eggs. 
"Feeding" for eggs is more important in winter 
than in summer, because all the eggs a hen lays 
must be formed from the food taken in. To stim- 
ulate and increase the formation of eggs the hen 
must be assisted by feeding the ingredients that 
go to the formation of the shells, the yolks, and 
the whites of eggs. Chemical science has discov- 
ered these ingredients, all of which are combined 
in our Special Poultry Food. 

Given a hen in a healthy condition, whether 
she is a regular layer or not, and put into her the 
ingredients that go to form eggs, and she has got 
to lay, just the same as the boiler of an engine in 
good condition with a given amount of water in 
it is bound to make steam if fire is placed under 
it. Just the same with poultry raising. You can 
make them lay or fatten them at will. 



HOW TO FEED FOR EGGS: Corn, wheat, 
oats, barley and millet seed wet up and mixed 
with a given quantity (one measure for each 15 
hens) of Gold Coin Special Poultry Food and fed 
regularly three times a day will absolutely 
MAKE your hens lay — every one of them will 
lay, and they should lay every day, during their 
period. Gold Coin Poultry Food if fed regularly 
is an ideal food for laying hens. Grain food 
should be well scattered so as to make the 
chickens scratch for it, which tends to prevent 
too rapid eating or engorgement, and discourages 
laziness. Laying hens should not be lazy, and they 
should not be fat, they must be hard workers. 

The beauty of the above mixed grain is, that 
the grain and seeds go to make blood and tissue 
and the Gold Coin Poultry Food contains the in- 
gredients that turn every ounce of it into flesh 
and eggs. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food is guaranteed to be 
the cheapest because it goes the farthest. 1,500 
feeds for 25c or 3,500 for 50c. 

A package of Gold Coin Poultry Food pays for 
itself in actual saving in two weeks time for each 
15 hens. Your actual profits from it are increased 
many times. Remember, it is sold on a guar- 
antee to do this or price refunded if it fails. 

The great ecg producer of the age — Gold Coin 
Poultry Food. Sold on a guarantee. 

Use an egg layer that is guaranteed. Don't 
waste your money. Gold Coin Poultry Food 
turns feed into golden eggs.

EVERYBODY SHOULD RAISE 
POULTRY— WHY? 

Poultry raising is such a VERY, VERY 
PROFITABLE industry that everybody, even 
though they have only a small back yard, should 
go into it to some extent. 

And with the excellent facilities for scientific 
feeding (the key to profit) which the Gold Coin 
Stockfood Company now offers you, a few spare 
minutes each day will bring a nice little side in- 
come. Every package of Gold Coin Poultry Food 
contains a little measure, and a special pamphlet 
giving full and simple instructions for profitable 
and easy poultry raising. You simply mix a little 
measureful of the Gold Coin Special Poultry Food 
in the chicken feed 3 times a day, and you are 
doing the most scientific feeding that can be at- 
tained. It will produce eggs in double the usual 
quantity, and meat of the most delicate texture 
and flavor. Gold Coin Special Poultry Food is 
sold in packages of two sizes. The 25-cent size 
has 1,500 feeds for one hen, or lOtf feeds for 15 
hens. Fifty-cent size, 3,500 feeds. It is the great 
egg and flesh producer, and, best of all, it keeps 
chitkens free from disease.

THE DOMINIQUES. 

Here is an old-fashioned — but a money-making 
chicken. We wish to call the attention of the 
farmer more than poulterer to this excellent 
breed. As a barn-yard fowl, the pure bred Dom- 
inique-has no equal. Fed on Gold Coin Poultry 
bood to keep their egg-producing organs active, 
they make excellent layers, and are good setters 
and mothers. Weight 6 to 8 lbs. Flesh is of 
superior quality for table use. If you have never 
used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us at once, 
and test it at our expense if it fails to give paying

HOW TO RAISE BROILERS. 

They Are Very Profitable. 

We will tell you how to do it right. Plymouth 
Rocks are the best breed. Begin hatching early. 
Give good protection to the little chicks. Never 
let them get wet. Keep them free from lice, as 
half the little chickens that die are killed by 
dampness and lice. Before putting them in the 
coop see that it is well cleaned and disinfected. 
Use Gold Coin Louse Killer, well dusted under 
the wings of the mother hen, and disinfect the 
coop with Gold Coin Germ Killer according to 
directions on the can, and you will not have a 
louse about the place. Feed them almost entirely 
on ground feed, wet up with some warm water, or 
better still, warm or boiled milk, to which has 
been added mashed potatoes, turnips or carrots, 
if convenient. To every 30 or 40 chicks, before 
two weeks old, give 1 measureful of Gold Coin 
Poultry Food. After 2 weeks of age, give 2 
measurefuls to each 30 or 40. After the third or 
fourth week, you can give 3, or even 4, measure- 
fuls of the Food to every 30, and in 6 to 8 weeks 
you will have the most delicious V/z to 2-pound 
broilers that you have ever eaten. 

Market them early and see what excellent 
profit they will bring you. 

GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD 

Makes Feed Count. 
In the poultry business every ounce of grain 
you feed must be eaten and digested. It is what 
is digested that makes the eggs and flesh and 
brings you the profit,

A COW HELPS POULTRY. 

If you have chickens, you should have milk. 
Young chicks MUST have it, older chickens need 
it. If you will feed your cow Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener, which makes her digest all she eats, her 
milk will be richer in fat (cream). You'll get 
more butter and the skim milk will be richer to 
feed your poultry. If you have never used Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener, buy a package and test it at 
our expense. It will make for you in profits 15 
to 25 per cent in saving your feed and enriching 
your milk. It gives your butter a flavor and color 
that will make you famous in your district. It 
saves labor by keeping your cows and calves in 
perfect health. Try it. The largest cattle raisers 
all over the country endorse it. It is the cheapest 
stock food you can buy because it goes the 
farthest — 6 feeds for a penny, and actually pro- 
duces 5 to 10 per cent better results than any 
other stock food. It is a chemical and medical 
preparation. 

Poultry houses need disinfecting frequently.

warm with a measureful of Gold Coin Special

pounded bone, and other extras are also fine ad- 
ditional feed at times. Corn or wheat exclu-

FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. 

The United States Commissioner of Agricul- 
ture reported that New York state consumes 
$38,000,000 worth of eggs alone every year. The 
United States consumes $500,000,000 worth of 
eggs and poultry. The annual poultry earnings is 
larger than any single crop, $52,000,000 more than 
the wheat crop, $30,000,000 more than the cotton 
crop, $100,000,000 more than we spent for schools, 
$100,000,000 more than swine produced. One 
would hardly believe that the hen is such an enor- 
moui producer. This should be a stimulus to 
small and large poultry raisers. There is surely 
money in poultry. Feed scientifically. Use Gold 
Coin Poultry Food and make more money. Don't 
fear over-production, because we import millions 
of dollars worth of poultry produce every year.

Food makes for them more than 500 per cent 
profit above the cost of the food. Isn't it worth

BROWN LEG BORN ROOSTER. 

THE LEGHORNS. 

This is a Spanish bird and has become a great 
favorite in this country. When fed on Gold 
Coin Poultry Food, they become enormous lay- 
ers, WINTER and SUMMER. They are not 
good setters — they prefer to lay; usually laying at 
5 months of age. On Gold Coin Poultry Food 
they are noted for their rapid growth, and the ex- 
cellent flavor of their eggs. Most breeders say 
that Leghorns are the very best breed of fowls 
to raise — they bring the most eggs. They are 
the best layers, and easiest to raise. But you 
must have a few of another breed for setting or 
use incubators to hatch the eggs. A large raiser 
of Leghorns reports that the use of Gold Coin 
Poultry Food increased the egg production in his 
flock 55 per cent. 

LAZY OR LOAFING HENS

THE BLACK 
UNGSHAN. 

Fed on Gold Coin Poultry- 
Food, they are rapid growers, 
the cockerels usually weigh- 
ing 10 to 12 lbs. at 7 months, 
if fattened. Their rapid 
growth, combined with their 
great size and small bones, 
makes them a bird of great 
value to poulterers. The hens 
are good layers. Their eggs 
are large and rich. Their 
meat is excellent for so big 
a fowl. They were first bred 
in China. 



Golden Eggs. Your 
hens, together with all 
the other hens in Amer- 
ica, lay $300,000,000 a 
year. Do yours lay ev- 
ery day ? They'll pretty 
nearly do it if you use 
Gold Coin Poultry Food. 




BLACK LANGSHAN FOWLS. 



FOR SITTING HENS. 

Use Gold Coin Poultry Food Regularly. 

Setting is hard and patient work. It taxes the 
nervous system to the extreme. Give your setting 
hen a little care. Have water and moist ground 
food with our Special Poultry Food well mixed 
in it, always within reach. Sprinkle her back with 
Gold Coin Louse Killer once or twice, while she 
is setting, too many lice will drive her off the 
nest. Make your setting hen comfortable and 
you will get lots of little chicks. Gold Coin 
Poultry Food keps the setters in health, purifies 
the blood, keeps her calm and quiet, thus impart- 
ing greater and more continuous warmth to the 
eggs, insuring a hatching of every fertile egg. 

THE BLACK POLISH BREED.

tention in cold and damp 
weather. They are very do- 
mestic, and make good pets. 
If this bird is fed regularly 
on Gold Coin Poultry Food, 
it becomes the greatest of all 
layers. Some of our custom- 
ers report that she becomes 
an "everlasting" layer, win- 
ter and summer. Their i^s 
are large and rich, and of ex- 
cellent taste. This breed is 
very prolific, and reaches ma- 
turity early. They are poor 
foragers and must be fed reg- 
ularly.

pound — you willl see that our "FOOD" goes 
farther than any other food on the market.

makes it a food that need not be fed in large 
doses. A small dose scalded or made wet and

cannot afford to buy a cheap food that has to be 
given by the scoop-shovelfuls. No results can be 
obtained by cheap stock foods, because they don't 
contain the proper ingredients. The tonic effect 
of Gold Coin Fattening Food aids digestion and 
assimilation, keeps the water clear, strengthens 
the kidneys and liver, so that every grain eaten

BLACK-TAILED JAPANESE BANTAM. 

BANTAMS. 

The principal varieties are Silver and Golden 
Seabright and White Japanese Bantam. These 
are not an unprofitable fowl to raise. Pure 
breeds always command good prices. The eggs, 
when sold for breeding purposes, always bring 
big profit. If you are a poulterer, we would cer- 
tainly advise you to have a few on hand. Feed 
them Gold Coin Poultry Food and notice how 
their beautiful coats will shine, and how proud 
and vigorous the cocks will appear. There is 
nothing that does fowls of all kinds so much good 
as Gold Coin Poultry Food. It keeps them at the 
highest point of health and MAKES them lay — 
GOLD DOLLARS FOR YOU. 

The Feeding of Bantams: To keep them in 
good laying condition, and free from disease, the 
same as for common chickens, one measureful of 
Gold Coin Poultry Food to every 15 fowls. 



GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD 

Keeps the Bowels Open, the Blood Pure, 
And puts the stuff in the hen that makes her lay. 

Young turkeys are usually difficult to raise, 
but if you will use Gold Coin Poultry Food you 
will find your young turkeys stronger and hardier 
and no more difficult to raise than chickens. Use 
a teaspoonful of Gold Coin Poultry Food in each 
pan of bran mash. 

Do your hens lay in winter? They wiTl do so 
if you make them. Try it. Read the directions 
on "Feeding for Laying" in the book. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food prevents id'eress. A 
hen that's always busy picking and eating is a 
good layer. A lazy hen is a poor layer. Gold 
Coin Poultry Food keeps the digestive organs 
working, hence a good appetite, which means 
eggs. 

Mix a measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food 
in the "Johnnie Cake" you bake for your young 
chickens. It keeps them from getting diarrhoea 
and makes their constitutions strong. 



MILK VERY GOOD FOR POULTRY. 

If you are a poultry raiser and do not keep a 
cow, buy a good milker as soon as you can. She 
need not be any pure bred stock, but if you will 
use your judgment you can get a good milker at 
about the same price as a small milker. She will 
pay for herself three times over every year. You 
want lots of milk — the more the better. You can 
feed the cow Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and make 
her milk as rich as you wish. If you use a 
measureful in three quarts of bran and shorts 
twice a day her skim milk will be as rich as fresh 
milk for your young chicks. You'll have twice 
the success with your young chicks, your broilers 
will have an exceptionally fine flavor, your hens 
will lay better. Remember, Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener acts on cows just as Gold Coin Poultry 
Food acts on chickens. It makes them digest all 
they eat, thus saving 15 to 25 per cent, and it 
keeps them feeling good so they can produce 
more. It keeps them well and looking sleek. If 
you have never tried Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
and Poultry Food, write to us and test it at our 
expense. It's worth investigating. We sell it on 
a guarantee to bring you paying results. 



We will forfeit $5,000 and pay the expense of 
the chemical analysis if any one can prove that 
Gold Coin Cattle Fattener contains anything in- 
jurious. 

LOOK OUT FOR LICE IN JULY AND 
AUGUST. 

The hot months are when lice do the most 
harm. Take the time to dust a little Gold Coin 
Louse Killer on each fowl once a week during 
these two months, and they will not usually be 
troubled all the year. Or dust the coop and roosts 
with it.

THE COMMON TURKEY. 

FORTUNES CAN BE MADE IN 
TURKEYS. 

They Are Easy to Raise I£ Properly Fed. 

So very few people raise turkeys successfully 
that it might be said turkeys are scarce in the 
West. 

Yet turkeys are as easy to raise as chickens. 
They require a little more attention when young, 
but not so much later. Any intelligent woman or 
even child can give them all the care they need. 

The "Common" turkey is undoubtedly the best 
breed for most people to raise. They are tame, 
hardy, good foragers and not too large. Weight 
10 to 15 pounds. It is a mistake to raise large 
turkeys. Few families care for more than 15 
pounds of meat at one cooking. That is the 
reason that people usually pick out the 10 to 15 
pound turkeys in preference to the 30 to 40 
pounders at the market. Raise medium-sized 
turkeys. 

Bronze turkeys are also becoming very popu- 
lar, and we can say from experience that they are 
good turkeys. When properly fed on Gold Coin 
Poultry Food they become good layers, are 
quickly fattened and bring good prices. 

The turkey-house should be high so as to get 
high roosts. But have them so arranged that 
the turkeys can easily get up to them. Lameness 
in turkeys often comes from jumping down from 
high roosts. No artificial heat is required for 
full-grown turkeys in winter. The shed should 
be well ventilated with windows to the south. 
Turkeys are very hardy and live better in an open 
shed than in a closed house. Beware of lice and 
filth. 

FEEDING TURKEYS. Like geese, feed 
them double the dose you do chickens, that is, 
two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to 
every 15 turkeys twice a day. This keeps them 
strong and healthy and puts them in good laying 
condition. When "fattening time" comes increase 
the dose to four measurefuls to every 15 fowls 
or if necessary use six measurefuls to get quicker 
results. Little turks do amazingly well on one 
measureful to every 25 turks. It strengthens their 
delicate bodies and saves you over 50 per cent of 
loss. Don't try to raise turkeys without Gold 
Coin Poultry Food. It is such a wonderful help. 
If- you have never used it write to us for a box 
and use it at our expense if it fails to give paying 
results. 



WHY SO MANY LITTLE TURKEYS DIE. 

There are three great causes — and the merest 
attention can easily overcome all three. 

1. Dampness and wet. 2. Lice. 3. Filth. 

Therefore, keep your small turkeys within 
reach of shelter — good shelter. And if you see a 
severe storm arising, get them all in. Keep the 
coop clean and healthy by disinfecting it at least 
once a week with Gold Coin Germ Killer, accord- 
ing to direction on each can. It will also keep the 
coop free from lice. To prevent lice on the 
turkeys, dust each fowl once a week with Gold 
Coin Louse Killer — it only takes a minute and 
you will save yourself many dollars. Just that 
easy can all the three causes of death be over- 
come, and you should raise practically every 
turkey hatched. 

Turkey eggs hatch in 28 days. An ordinary hen 
can easily hatch 7 to 9 eggs. A turkey hen will 
hatch 13 to 15. Or they can be hatched in an in- 
cubator, and raised to three months in a brooder. 
But never more than 20 to 25 in one lot, as they 
require too much care in this way. 

FEEDING OF LITTLE TURKEYS: Don't 
feed them anything the first day. On the second 
day begin feeding them every two hours from 
early till late. Make a sort of bread from the fol- 
lowing: Sifted ground oats, one beaten egg, a 
little salt to taste, and one measureful of Gold 
Coin Poultry Food to each 20 to 30 turkeys, and 
cook it. Crumble it and feed in curds of milk. 
Always feed on clean surfaces. Have plenty of 
water on hand to drink, but arrange it so that 
only their beaks get wet — because little turkeys 
should be kept dry. 

Filth and lice soon kill little turkeys. So be 
sure that the coop in which you intend to keep 
them is not infested with lice. Disinfect it with 
Gold Coin Germ Killer, and sprinkle the roosts, 
cracks and corners of the coop with Gold Coin 
Louse Killer. Examine the hen to see if she has 
lice, or better still, take no chances and dust her 
well all over, especially thoroughly under the 
wings. This will be enough to protect the little 
turkeys. 

Give once a day some tender green food, as 
onions, etc., chopped up finely; also a little raw 
meat. After they are a week old, wheat and 
crushed bone should be constantly before them. 
But in addition must feed them regular three 
times a day on an equal mixture of bran, ground 
oats, corn meal and one measureful of Gold Coin 
Poultry Food, with some kind of chopped green 
food, all mixed thoroughly, to every 20 to 30 
little turkeys. This is sure to give you excellent 
results and big profits in your turkey raising. 

The cheap feed and the delightful foraging 
grounds afforded by the average farm, and the 
always ready market, gives the successful turkey 
raiser more actual profit than any other kind of 
stock. 

In selecting breeding stock for the following 
year keep the old turkey hens that you found gave 
the best service and proved to be tame and 
gentle, because stronger young stock will be pro- 
duced by the more mature fowls. Grown turkeys 
cannot be confined in a pen. They will pine away 
and die. They like to stroll away during the day. 
And this is a good time to tend to their coop, A 
yearling gobbler with two-year-old hens make the 
best mating. One gobbler to each 20 or more 
hens is sufficient. Feed your turkeys morning and 
night in the barnyard and they will always come 
home to roost.

DUCKS. 

If you are raising ducks don't try to 
get along without Gold Coin Poultry 
Food. Ducks need more material for 
making eggs than chickens. Gold Coin 
Poultry Food contains these materials 
in abundance. It also keeps them well 
and helps to fatten them. The small 
common white duck has been displaced 
by the larger and better breeds. The 
Mammoth Pekin Duck being the most 
successful. It is pure white, legs and 
hill yellow. When fully developed and 
fattened, weighs 8 to 12 pounds. They 
are very sturdy, good foragers, easy 
to raise and 'very profitable. A good 
swimming pond should be provided 
for them, but they will do well without 
it if given plenty of fresh water to 
drink. The Rouen Duck (gray) is a 
good layer, weight 10 to 12 pounds 
when fattened, and very fine eating. 
Other varieties are the Black Poland, 
Mandarin, Crested Duck, Carolina, 
etc. Ducks are profitable, and you 
should raise some if you have the 
room, as they can usually be sold at a 
fancy price at certain times. 

The Feeding of Ducks. Give two 
measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry 
Food to every 15 ducks in wet grain 
either ground or unground. Best if 
warm. Gold Coin Poultry Food makes 
ducks lay better and helps wonderfully 
to fatten them. We guarantee it to in- 
crease your profits 15 to 25 per cent.

WHITE PEKIN DUCK. 

KEEP POULTRY-KEEP A COW. 

Most people who have poultry keep a cow 
too. A cow is a wonderful feed-saver to the 
poultry raiser. The skim milk and the sour milk 
are almost indispensible in raising young chicks, 
turkeys, ducks or broilers. It is the finest thing 
too for old chickens. If you keep a cow you 
should get the most possible milk from her. Gold 
Coin Cattle Fattener is the greatest milk pro- 
ducer of the age. It makes fat. Remember, milk 
is an emulsion. An emulsion is a watery mixture 
in which fat is suspended. The fat makes the 
butter. Now you can feed scientifically to make 
3'our cow give up the fat in milk, or, you can stop 
milking and she will put it on her 
frame in flesh and fat. The poultry 
raiser and everyone, excepting the 
ranger, wants milk from his cow. It 
will save you 15 to 25 per cent. A 
cow fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener 
gives richer milk. It makes the cow 
digest all she eats and turns it into 
fat — that's rich milk. If you have' 
never used it you can buy a package 
and test it at our expense — write to 
us. 



CRESTED WHITE DUCKS. 



THE POULTRY BUSINESS IS FAR 
FROM BEING OVERDONE. 

America alone produces over 

$500,000,000 (half billion) in 

poultry and eggs per year. 

You cannot afibrd to do unscientific 

feeding, while it is so easy to use a 

scientific preparation like Gold Coin 

Poultry Food. Every man who uses 

Gold Coin Poultry Food is a scientific 

feeder.

LARGE WHITE GEESE, ALSO CALLED EMBDEN OR BREMEN. 



GEESE. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food fattens them and makes 
them grow fast. Geese, as well as all the other 
fowls, love Gold Coin Poultry Food, and it does 
them a world of good. For the average poultry 
raiser the Embden or Bremen or large white 
goose stands far in the lead for profit. It is easy 
to raise, an early layer; and when raised- to full 
size weighs from 30 to 60 lbs., giving good profit. 
The Toulouse Goose is next. The Hong Kong 
Grey Goose is large in size, a good layer, and 
with meat of excellent quality. The White Chi- 




PAIR OF GRAY TOULOUSE GEESE. 



nese Goose is pure white, yellow bill and head, 
graceful as a swan on land or water; a good layer 
and easy to raise. But the common Large White 
Goose (the Embden or Bremen) is the goose to 
raise. It brings the most profit and requires the 
least work. 

THE FEEDING OF GEESE. 

To get the best results with geese, double the 
dose used for chickens, that is, feed two full meas- 
urefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to every 15 
geese. _ It keeps them in the best possible laying 
condition, and it makes young geese grow strong 
and fast. TO FATTEN a 
full grown goose quickly, pen 
it up and feed it 2 measureluls 
of Gold Coin Poultry Food to 
every quart of wet feed. You 
can even increase the dose to 
3 if you w^ant cjuick results. 

SICKNESS-LOSS WITH- 
OUT DEATH. 

Sickness in fowls, like in peo- 
ple, causes waste of flesh. Sick- 
ness, then, means to you as 
poulterers, waste of the food you 
gave to make this flesh— remem- 
ber you are feeding to make flesh 
to sell. Fowls can'tputon flesh 
nor lay eggs while sick. You're 
wasting food— money — if you are 
feeding sick chickens. Feed 
Gold Coin PouItryFood and turn 
all your feed into money. It 
brings I5 to 25 per cent more 
profit, because it makes your 
poultry digest every ounce they 
eat. Some poulterers claim it 
makes 500 per cent above the 
cost of the food.

POULTRY ADVANTAGES 
FRUIT FARMS. 



ON 



Upon the fruit farm fowls are also 
of advantage. They keep down the in- 
sect pests, and they may have a free 
range the greater part of the season 
without the possibility of doing any 
damage. Plum growers have found 
poultry especially helpful in keeping 
down the curculio, and even apples 
have been considerably benefited. If 
small fruits are injured, they may, of 
course, be protected by confining the 
fowls for the limited season when the 
fruit is ripening. The waste fruits, 
either in winter or summer, are a wel- 
come and valuable addition to the 
poultry ration. 



POULTRY ADVANTAGES 
AFFORDED BY THE DAIRY. 

Dairymen who have town or city milk routes, 
and market gardeners who retail their produce, 
have exceptional opportunities for marketing 
fresh eggs and poultry at the highest prices. 
They become well acquainted with many of their 
customers by their daily visits, and they are 
looked upon as a direct channel of communication 
between the country and the city. They should 
by all means make the most of this advantage, 
for any class of agricultural producers who can 
reach the consumer without the intervention of 
the middleman is indeed fortunate.

POULTRY AND THE MARKET 
GARDEN. 

"GOLD COIN" BRINGS EXTRA PROFITS. 

The market garden also furnishes a large 
amount of waste products which may be utilized 
for poultry feed. There is the waste lettuce, the 
small heads of cabbage, the unsold beets, carrots, 
and potatoes, the peas, and corn which cannot be 
marketed for any reason, the waste of the small 
fruits, etc. If properly cared for, the hens will 
bring a steady and reliable income during the 
winter months. Dried clover and other green 
feed, roots, and tubers should be saved for them 
during the summer. These should be steamed 
and fed with the mash, or cabbages and beets may 
be fed raw. A catch crop of buckwheat or oats 
and peas will furnish much food at little expense. 
Bran, meat, meal, wheat screenings, and oats 
purchased for poultry will bring good returns in 
eegs and will also add materially to the fertilizer 
supply.

DON'T CLASS OUR FOODS. 

Don't class our "Foods" with the many in- 
ferior preparations now on the market. Ours is 
composed entirely of high-grade ingredients. It 
is blended and compounded under the direct su- 
pervision of an expert agricultural chemist. Poul- 
try Tcdsers repeatedly report that our "Food" suc-

this because we have analyzed every Poultry 
Food on the Market and find that none of them 
contain the valuable ingredients that ours does. 
The remarkable success of Gold Coin Poultry

ABOUT RAISING CHICKENS BY MACHINERY. 

THE GREAT CRY OF THE PACKERS IS "BETTER POULTRY AND MORE OF IT." 



HOW TO USE AN INCUBATOR. 

Special Points on Artificial Incubating and 
Brooding, 

Three hundred to six hundred eggs can be 
as eaisily managed in an incubator as cam 35 
eggs under three hens. 

The machine should be run at a temperature 
of 102^ deg. throughout, letting the temperature 
run up as high as 104 or 105 degs. just before

capacity. A combined incubator and brooder. Price only 
$16.50.' 

hatching. Do not check ofif the heat, even though 
it rises to 108 deg., its maximum; it will not be 
too high when the chicks are coming out rap- 
idly. 

As a rule a cellar is the best place to keep 
an incubator. 

Good ventilation is very important. 

As the ventilation of a cellar is usually not 
very good, it must be arranged so that good ven- 
tilation will be obtained. The reason the cellar is 
the best place to keep an incubator is because it 
is a room that can be kept at an even temperature 
easily. No matter how: goiod an incubator may 
be, it will always do best if kept in a room in 
which the temperature of the room is even. Good 
ventilation is essential because the little chicks 
require .oxygen for their vital functions, and the 
lamp of the machine has a tendency to exhaust 
the supply if the ventilation is poor. 

Under ordinary circumstances do not open the 
incubator while the chicks are hatching. It 
is very important that the temperature and hu- 
midity of the egg chamber should remain con- 
stant at this particular time. None of the chicks 
should be assisted in leaving the shell. If one 
of the little chicks just hatched should require 
assistance and you were to open the machine to 
help it, you might cause the death of 200 to 300 
little chicks that were about to be hatched, be- 
cause the sudden cooling of the temperature and 
evaporation which tends to dry the egg chamber, 
may cause many of the little chicks, just pipped, 
to stick to the shell and not hatch. 

Full Instructions go with 



As soon as the hatching is well over the ma- 
chine should be opened and the unhatched eggs 
removed. It is advisable to allow the little chicks 
to remain in the machine for the first 24 hours at 
a temperature of 90 deg. to 94 deg., then transfer 
them to the brooder, and give them their first 
meal. Ground wheat, oats and barley with one 
measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food for every 
30 chicks. 

Eggs in incubators should be handled as little 
as possible. Enough importance has never been 
laid upon the necessity of handling eggs, in the 
course of incubation, with strictly clean hands. 
Dirty or sweaty hands are likely to stop up the 
pores of the eggs and prevent successful hatch- 
ing. Therefore remember, avoid handling as 
much as possible and when positively necessary 
to handle the eggs see that your hands are 
strictly clean and dry. 

THE BROODER. 

The brooder is the artificial mother. It is sim- 
ply a little coop maintained at a certain tempera- 
ture, never below 60 deg. and never above 90 deg., 
into which the little chicks can run. The same as 
they would under the wings of a motiher hen. 
Where brooders are kept out doors, especially 
during inclement weather, the chicks are liable to 
lung diseases from which they never recover. 
This is due to the sudden change of temperature 
experienced by the chicks running from the warm 
brooder out into the cold atmosphere. During 
bad weather keep the brooder indoors. 




The New Excelsior Brooder, or Artificial Mother. 

Write for particulars. 



Where poultry raising has become a promi- 
nent feature in farming operations, it has become 
the rule to use incubators and brooders. And 
this is very important, because with an incubator 
you need not wait for hens to become broody, 
you can hatch chicks early in the season in tiine 
for the early Broiler market, or where you wish 
to hatch pullets for winter laying. 

Here is an important point for poultry raisers 
who wish to make a specialty of producing eggs 
for the winter market. Eggs bring the highest 
price during the winter. And as a rule most hens

The artificial' raising of poultry is daily in- 
creasing in popularity, and is a business suitable 
for all classes of people. It can be conducted by 
the clergyman as well as the farmer or fancier. It 
is easily managed, and already carried on by the 
sons and daughters of many prominent citizens 
as well as farmers' wives and daughters. Chicks 
hatched and raised in The Wooden Hen are the 
strongest and obtain the highest prices. They 
can be raised for five or six cents until they are 
three months old, and then sold at twenty to sixty 
cents per pound all through the year. Can you 
see the profit in this? Or, if you reside in the 
city, with a Wooden Hen you can hatch and raise 
your own table fowls, having spring chickens 
just when you want them, and not a live hen 
on the premises, besides affording you a pleasant 
occupation for a few moments each day and a 
saving gn your table expense.

You should introduce new blood into your 



flock at least every two or three years. In-breed- 
ing weakens their constitution. 

A poulterer reports that 200 of his hens pro- 
duced 12,000 eggs in 60 days during the first sea- 
son he used Gold Coin Poultry Food. It is need- 
less to say that he uses it always now. Try it 
yourself. We guarantee it. Money refunded if 
it fails to bring you results. 

If you are not a pure-breeder, always try to 
have pure-bred cocks in your flock. 

Have one cock for each 12 to 15 hens. 




THREE-PEN HOUSE FOR GROWING DUCKS. 

Many poulterers keep their laying hens, 
during the egg season, separate from the cocks, 
as eggs which are not fertile will keep longest. 

Have the nests in the darkest part of your hen 
house. Laying is a procreative function and re- 
quires retirement and quiet. 

IN THE POULTRY BUSINESS 

Eggs Are Money. 

You must scheme to make every hen lay an 
egg every day. Our Special Poultry Food will do 
it.

TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD RAISE 
POULTRY. 

1st. Because you can convert a great deal of 
the waste on a farm into money, in the shape of 
eggs and chickens. 

2nd. Because, with proper care and feeding, 
you can make your hens money producers every 
month in the year. 

3rd. Because, on the farm, chickens have 
large and free range, which is of greatest value. 

4th. Because, to start poultry raising, it re- 
quires but little management and brings you big 
profit. 

5th. Because poultry raising can be entirely 
looked after by the farmer's wife and daugters. 

6th. Because, while grain and fruit can only 
be successfully grown in certain parts, poultry can 
be raised for table use in any part of the country. 

7th. Because it will bring big returns in the 
shape of new laid eggs — during the winter season 
when the farmer has time on his hands. 

8th. Because poultry will yield you a quicker 
return for the money invested than anything else 
on the farm. 

9th. Because the manure from the hen house 
will make valuable compost for the garden or 
orchard. 

10th. Because on the farm wheat only pays 
on the average $5 an acre net, while 500 hens can 
be kept on an acre and be made to pay an annual 
net of $1 each, or $500 — one hundred times as 
much as wheat. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food strengthens the con- 
stitution, promotes digestion and the fowl must 
either grow rapidly or lay lots of eggs. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food cures and prevents 
disease. It is sold on a positive guarantee to per- 
form the best results possible. 



FEED MOULTING HENS. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food, because it puts the hen 
in better condition for early fall laying, and helps 
to develop new feathers. 

THE MAN EARLIEST TO MARKET 

Makes the Most Profit. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food fattens in about 
half the time, gets you to market in the spring 
long before your neighbor, and brings you all the 

fancy prices. 

$5,000 guarantee. We will forfeit $5,000 and 

the cost of chemical analysis if anyone proves 

that Gold Coin Poultry Food contains a single 
ingredient that is injurious. 



SICKNESS MEANS LOSS. 

Sickness in your flock, even though it does not 
cause death, causes loss of flesh. Loss of flesh is 
loss of the feed you fed. It just takes that much 
more feed to put their flesh back on them again. 
Hence the loss through the sickness was — loss of 
(1) flesh, (2) eggs, (3) time, (4) feed— all of which 
represent MONEY. -It pays to keep your flock 
always at the highest point of health. Gold Coin 
Poultry Food is guaranteed to bring you an abso- 
lute increase of 15 to 25 per cent in profits and to 
save you money and time in feeding. We make 
this great cash guarantee because we know that 
Gold Coin Poultry Food contains the ingredients 
which stimulate and create growth, bone, flesh, 
eggs. Fowls fed on the Poultry Food have to 
thrive because they are kept at the highest point 
of health. Test it on our guarantee. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food fattens quickly. Saves 
your feed, and imparts a delicious flavor to meat.

DON'T CLASS OUR FOODS. 

Don't class our "Foods" with the

high-erade ingredients. It is blended 
and compounded under the direct super-

Poultry raisers repeatedly report that 
our "Food" succeeds where others fail. 
We can easily understand this because 
we have analyzed every Poultry Food 
on the Market and find that none of them 
contain the valuable ingredients that ours

DISEASES OF POULTRY. 



VERTIGO. 

A Ooramon Disease Among- Fowls. 

The fowls stagger and have poor control of 
their limbs. It is sometimes called Leg Weak- 
ness. It is caused by over-feeding and lack of 
exercise. If one of your hens get vertigo, you 
are probablv over-feeding the whole flock and all 
need attention. 

DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT: Mix 
two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food in a 

-'-quart of bran mash for each 15 chickens three 
times a day. Feed no corn or wheat. Feed oats 
sparingly. Give plenty of water to drink. If any 
are suffering, pour cold water on them to prevent 
apoplexy. 

TREATMENT FOR PREVENTION. The 
chief preventative is to keep their digestion and 
bowels in good condition and "their system will 
not overload with accumulative poisons. Keep 
the digestion, bowels and all the internal organs 

^ working properly by feeding one measureful of 
Gold Coin Poultry Food to each 15 ^owls once 
or twice a day according to how quickly you 
want to grow or fatten them or increase their egg 
laying. 

If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry 
Food, write to us and get a full size package and 
test it at our expense if it fails to give paying 
results. 

' GOLDS AND CATARRH. 

Colds and catarrh come from having your 
coops damp and cold. You should remove the 
flocK to dry, warmer quarters and feed Gold 
Coin Poultry Food regularly to strengthen and 
increase their vitality so they can stand exposure 
better. Weak constitutions are more liable to 
colds and catarrh. Gold Coin Poultry Food 
makes strong constitutions. Feed it according to 
the regular directions placed in the top of each 
package. If you will use this scientific poultry 
food regularly and have chickens of strong con- 
stitution you will not only have your flock free 
from diseases, but they will lay all winter. No 
■ poulterer can say he is doing scientific feeding 
unless he is using the most scientific poultry 
food, which is Gold Coin Poultry Food, discov- 
ered by one of the greatest agricultural scientists. 
Even though your flock consists of only six hens 

^ and a rooster, or if it consists of 10,000 fowls, you 
should use Gold Coin Poultry Food. The largest 
raisers endorse it. If you have never used Gold 
Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full 
sized package and test it at our expense if it 
fails to give paying results. 

DIRECTIONS FOR CURING: Increase the 
vitality and strengthen the constitution by giving 
two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to 
two quarts of ground feed three times a day for 
every 15 fowls. Feed corn and wheat in moder- 

' ation; this grain increases the bodily heat. 



GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD 

Often Doubles the Production of Eggs. 

One extra egg daily per month will keep a hen 
in Our Poultry Food free of charge — think of the 
profit. 



LICE ON POULTRY. 

How You Can Kill All Lice. 

Fowls cannot lay nor gain flesh as they should 
if annoyed and irritated with lice. It affects the 
nervous system. Setting hens will leave their 
eggs. No matter how much care you give your 
poultry if they- are infested with lice they will not 
do well. Good laying hens must not have their 
nervous system distressed, as laying is a part of 
the procreative function, which require quiet, re- 
tirement and tranquility. Growing chickens must 
not waste their time in picking lice from them- 
selves while they should be finding food and 
putting flesh on their bones. 

Keep your coop clean as possible, sprinkle 
Gold Coin Louse Killer on the perches every time 
you clean the hen-house or at least once every 
two weeks. Some poulterers occasionally throw 
a handful of the Louse Killer over chickens after 
they have gone to roost. These precautions will 
keep your poultry free from lice, mites, ticks, etc. 

When lice get into your coops and on your 
poultry, clean out your coop and whitewash it, 
adding two tablespoonfuls of "Gold Coin Germ 
Killer" to each pail of whitewash, if the season 
will permit. If it is winter or too cold to white- 
wash the coop, sprinkle the perches and interior 
of hen-house as good as possible with the Louse 
Killer Powder. 

TO KILL THE LOUSE ON FOWL: Take 
the fowl by one leg and dust the Gold Coin 
Louse Killer into the feathers so it gets down to 
the skin. Rubbing the feathers the wrong way 
will do this. Particularly watch your setting hens, 
they will leave their eggs if too much annoyed. 
Dust her with Louse Killer once or twice a week. 

LICE ON YOUNG CHICKENS: Dust the 
"Gold Coin Louse Powder" on the mother hen, 
especially under the wings. This will be sufficient 
to drive the lice from the young chickens. 

APOPLEXY. 

Apoplexy is due to the same cause in fowls as 
in people, that is, a rupture of a blood vessel in 
the brain. They drop over dead. It is caused by 
over-feeding or improper feeding. You are wast- 
ing feed. 

Give your fowls large enough yards to get 
plenty of exercise. Cut down on their rations, 
but feed them scientifically and thus keep their 
digestion in good working order. Scientific feed- 
ing is attained by using the most scientific food 
digester and assimilator which is Gold Coin 
Poultry Food. When you do unscientific feed- 
ing or if you crowd the feed to any extent you are 
liable to kill or disease your hens, where as scien- 
tific feeding saves 15 to 25 per cent of feed by 
making them digest all they eat. Remember, as 
an economical poultry raiser you should try to 
get the most flesh and eggs from the least feed; 
you are not to see how much you can waste, and 
kill your hens by over-feeding. Try it and see 
how nice your hens will be with Gold Coin Poul- 
try Food used daily in their feed. They put on 
more flesh and lay more eggs. Their feathers lie 
smooth and look clean.

DISEASES OF POULTRY (Continued). 



APOPLEXY (Concluded). ' 

This Disease is Usually Due to Improper 
Feeding-, 

DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT: If one 

of your chickens die of apoplexy it is evident 
that you are improperly feeding the whole flock 
and therefore all must have attention. Mix three 
measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food with one 
quart of bran mash for each 15 fowls three times 
a day. Feed no corn nor wheat. Feed oats 
sparingly. Give them plenty of water to drink, 
and plenty of room to run about in. 

DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep 
their digestion and bowels active by feeding one 
teaspoonful of Gold Coin Poultry Food in two 
quarts of bran mash for each 15 chickens once 
or twice a day, according to how quickly you 
want to grow or fatten them or increase their egg 
laying. 

If you have never tried Gold Coin Poultry 
Food, write us and get a full sized package and 
try it at our expense. 

DIARRHOEA. 

A Dangerous Disease to Poultry. 

Whenever diarrhoea appears among your 
flock, look out for cholera, because there should 
be no diarrhoea if you are doing proper feeding. 
Diarrhoea, when not due to cholera, comes from 
poor digestion and fermentation. Your poultry 
can't have poor digestion if you use Gold Coin 
Poultry Food and as it also promotes assimil- 
ation, your chickens put every ounce of feed you 
give them into their bones and flesh and into 
eggs. It doesn't matter how much or how good 
feed you give to man or beast, if it is not prop- 
erly digested and assimilated, and if it passes 
away by diarrhoea it can produce no flesh. In 
one week of diarrhoea, your fowls will lose in 
flesh what it took three weeks to put on. Re- 
member, you are feeding to produce flesh. It 
doesn't pay to have diarrhoea nor any diseases in 
your flock. It does pay to get the MOST out of 
the feed you give them and see that they digest 
and assimilate everything you give them. The 
fact is, flesh production whether in poultry, cattle 
or hogs is now-a-days conducted so scientifically 
by large raisers that you cannot compete with 
them unless you use the most scientific feed-saver 
and egg-producer, which is Gold Coin Poultry 
Food. It saves 15 to 25 per cent of feed. It does 
it by making the fowl digest all it eats and con- 
verts that into flesh or eggs. Gold Coin Poultry 
Food fed regularly, the fowls simply have to put 
on flesh just according to how much you feed 
them, or lay it out in eggs. 

DIRECTIONS FOR CURING DIAR- 
RHOEA: Mix two measurefuls of Gold Coin 
Poultry Food with two quarts of bran mash for 
each 15 fowls and give three times a day until 
cured. Feed them ground feed for a few days. 

DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep 
the digestion in good condition. All common 
bowel troubles (diarrhoea) come from poor diges- 
tion. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food's particular action is 
to perform good digestion. Feed one measure- 



ful to two quarts of bran or ground food once or 
twice a day according to how quickly you want 
to grow or fatten them or increase their egg lay- 
ing. 

If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry 
Food, write to us and get a full sized package i 
and try it at our expense. 

Diarrhoea in young chicks carries away' many 
every year just as Cholera Infantum does babes. 
With their soft food always mix a measureful of ' 
Gold Coin Poultry Food for each lot of 30 to 40 
chicks. As they get older increase the amount 
of poultry food one measureful for each, 15 - 
chicks. They will thrive rapidly and in 7 to 8 
weeks you will have nice plump broilers for early 
market, at high prices. Or in 3 or 4 months they 
will be full sized. Young chickens raised on Gold 
Coin Poultry Food have an especially fine flavor. 
Wealthy people will want your broilers, and will 
pay extra for th'em, because their flavor is as fine 
as Milk-Fed Broilers. This is money in your 
pocket.

POULTRY DISEASES (Gonlinued). 



CHICKEN CHOLERA. 

May Kill Your "Whole Flock in a Few "Weeks 
How to Cure It. 

, It is caused by a germ, and like all germ dis- 

eases of man and beast, is catching or contagi- 
ous. The sick fowls have a drooping, rufifled ap- 
pearance. The combs first get pale, then turn 
dark. The diarrhoea, however, is the great dan- 
gerous symptom and requires watching. At first 
it is yellowish and frothy, later it gets greenish 
and continues until death of the fowl. It is this 
frothy, greenish discharge that is so dangerous 
for it is loaded with the deadly cholera germs. 

The treatment and cure must be prompt. You 
need not be unduly alarmed, but act quickly. It 
is a frightful disease to have in your hen-house. 
It kills your hens by hundreds and even the most 
successful poulterer may lose his entire flock in a 
few weeks. 

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO EXTER- 
MINATE this terrible plague among your fowls. 
That is to Destroy the Cholera Germ. You must 
act quickly because the germs are so rapidly 
scattered through the greenish diarrhoea dis- 
charge, which is full of cholera germs. 

Take the well fowls from the Infected coop 
and put them into new quarters and give large 
doses of Gold Coin Poultry Food to prevent the 
disease from developing in the fowl thus exposed, 
', and sprinkle the Gold Coin Germ Killer (table- 
spoonful to pail of water) freely over the new 
quarters to destroy any, germs carried in the 
feathers of the fowl or clothes of the attendant. 
As soon as any fowl in the new quarters shows 
symptoms of the disease, remove it at once. Wear 
old clothes and sprinkle well with Gold Coin 
Germ Killer, especially the boots, when going 
from the sick to the well chickens. 

It is better to kill those fowls you see are too 
sick to live and are only endangering the rest of 
your flock by scattering the disease through con- 
tagion. But do not get panic-stricken and kill all 
fowls that have diarrhoea, or look sick, for most 
, of them can be cured. Gold Coin Poultry Food 
alone is enough to cure ordinary cases. Pour a 
pint of boiling water on six measurefuls of Gold 
Coin Poultry Food and mix with two quarts of 
bran mash for each 15 fowls and feed three times 

,r a day, until the Cholera has entirely disappeared 
from your flock. For the apparently well fowls 
mix 3 measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food 
with 2 quarts of ground feed three times a day 
to prevent Cholera developing in them. After 
Cholera has disappeared feed regularly one 
measure of Gold Coin Poultry Food mixed with 
two quarts of ground feed once or twice a day 
according to how quickly you wish to fatten them 
or increase their egg laying. Not only will you 
have better loaking chickens, free from disease, 

J and more eggs, but this constant use of the 
Gold Coin Poultry Food will prevent Cholera in 
your flock. It makes good digestion, increases 
the vitality and strengthens the constitution, thus 

f making the fowls more able to resist diseases. 
Give no corn or corn-rheal. 

Burn or bury promptly all fowls that die and 
sprinkle the coop well every day with solution of 
Gold Coin Germ Killer (mix a tablespoonful to a 



pail of water.) Also sprinkle the yard with it, 
especially sprinkle it on the diarrhoea discharges. 
After Cholera disinfecting of coops and pens 
should be continued three times a week for at 
least six months or more, or until cold weather 
sets in, as the Cholera germs may live five or six 
years if not destroyed. If you do not do this you 
had better burn the pens and houses in which the 
cholera-stricken fowls died. 

Full and complete directions for the cure of 
Cholera by the Gold Coin Special Poultry Food 
is placed in the top of each package. 

The disinfectant (Gold Coin Germ Killer) pre- 
pared by the Gold Coin Stockfood Company is 

the strongest, goes the farthest, is the most thor- 
ough and best Disinfectant Chemical Combina- 
tion. It destroys all germs of diseases of man or 
beast. Full directions for using it in chicken chol- 
era or any diseases and for the prevention of dis- 
eases, is given on the label of every can. It should 
be in every house. It should be used for all dis- 
infecting purposes. 

PREVENTION OF CHOLERA: Cholera 
being a germ disease, it is far easier to prevent 
than cure. Cleanliness and good healthy diges- 
tion and assimilation of food prevent cholera and 
all diseases by enabling the body to resist inva- 
sion by disease germs. We have never had a 
single report of cholera occurring in any flock 
which has received Gold Coin Poultry Food regu- 
larly. 

Constant use of Gold Coin Poultry Food not 

only prevents cholera, but makes the hens lay 
better and the eggs bring forth healthier young 
chicks. The roosters, too, are kept in better con- 
dition for breeding by its use. It makes them 
look sleek and clean. 

Get a package of Gold Coin Poultry Food and 
a can of Gold Coin Germ Killer if there is any 
sign of cholera in your flock. Prevent it now if 
you can before it gets a start. If you have no 
cholera, be thankful. Anyway, try a package of 
the Gold Coin Poultry Food and see how much 
cleaner and sleeker your poultry will look and 
how much better the hens will lay. 

If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry 
Food, write us and get a full sized package and 
try it at our expense if it fails to give paying re- 
sults. 

PIP. 

A crust or membrane forms on the top of the 
tongue. This membrane should be removed. You 
can remove it with your finger or knife. -After 
removing membrane always hold the mouth open 
and wash tongue with a solution of Gold Coin 
Germ Killer, 15 drops of Gold Coin Germ Killer 
to half pint of warm water. If you are not feed- 
ing Gold Coin Poultry Food begin its use at once. 
Buy a package and use according to the direc- 
tions placed in the top of each package. It is the 
cheapest poultry food because it goes the farthest, 
produces more flesh and eggs, 15 to 25 per cent 
more than if you used no poultry food at all, and 
5 to 10 per cent more than any other poultry 
food. Your chickens wouldn't be sick if they

PIP (Concluded). 

digested their food properly and assimilated it. 
That is what the Gold Coin Poultry Food does. 
That is why it makes 15 to 25 per cent more flesh 
out of the same amount of feed. When Gold 
Coin Poultry Food is given every bit they eat is 
converted into flesh and eggs. That is scientific 
feeding. 

DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep 
the digestive organs in good working condition 
so the strength and vitality of the system can 
throw off any invading disease germs. The par- 
ticular action of Gold Coin Poultry Food on the 
system is to make good digestion. The poultry 
get the benefit in flesh and blood of every ounce 
of feed they get when Gold Coin Poultry Food is 
fed regularly. To keep good health and strength, 
make rapid growth and increase egg laying, mix 
one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food to two 
quarts of ground feed for each 15 chickens and 
feed once or twice a day according to how quickly 
you wish to grow or fatten them, or to increase 
the egg laying. 

If you have never used the Gold Coin Poultry 
Food, write to us and get a full size package and 
try it at our expense. 

CONSUMPTION IN POULTRY. 

Consumption can only appear in flocks of 
weak constitution. It would never appear in any 
flock that receives scientific feeding. Scientific 
feeding gives a strong constitution. A strong con- 
stitution can only be had by perfect digestion of 
the feed, and a healthy action of all the internal 
organs. The ingredients contained in Gold Coin 
Poultry Food are scientifically combined and 
make perfect action of the internal organs, caus- 
ing perfect digestion, assimilation, formation of 
the digested food into flesh and bone. Thus Gold 
Coin Poultry Food is a scientific flesh and egg 
producer. The poulterer who uses it along with 
intelligent proportions of feed is doing the most 
scientific feeding possible to attain. But the 
many weak constitutioned, scurvy, dirty looking 
flocks we see every day show how few people, 
either through ignorance or negligence, take the 
simple precaution to feed a scientific food. The 
largest and most successful poultry raisers claim 
that the scientific poultry food made by the Gold 
Coin Stockfood Co. save them thousands of dol- 
lars every year from losses by disease, and makes 
them many thousands more by increase of flesh 
and egg production. 

DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT OF CONSUMP- 
TION IN FOWLS. 

Consumption is a general weakened and run- 
down condition. The cure is to rebuild and 
strengthen. For two months feed two measure- 
fuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to two quarts of 
ground food twice a day for each 15 fowls. Feed 
wheat, oats, and corn in moderation, if ground 
up is even better. The Gold Coin Poultry Food 
is indispensable, and it makes perfect digestion, 
thus makes strong constitutions. 

PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION: Keep 
your hens strong by having good digestion. They 
then get the full benefit of their feeding. This is 
done by feeding one measureful of Gold Coin 
Poultry Food in two quarts of ground feed once 



or twice a day according to how quickly you 
want to grow or fatten them or increase their 
egg laying. If you have never used Gold Coin 
Poultry Food, write us for a full size package and 
test it at our expense if it fails to give paying 
results. 

GAPES. 

Gapes is caused by a small worm in the wind- 
pipe. It occurs usually during July and August. 
It is not a germ, and therefore is not contagious, 
but other fowls will get it from swallowing the 
worms coughed up by the aflflicted ones. It ap- 
pears usually in the young. 

If the disease is allowed to run the fowl gets 
very sick and is easily handled and the worm can 
be readily removed by a flexible wire. Or hold 
the chicken's mouth open and pour in a few drops 
of solutijn of Gold Coin Germ Killer three or 
four times a day. To make this solution put 30 
drops of our Germ Killer into one pint of water. 
It will kill tne worm. Also give the sick ones a 
piece of raw salt pork about the size of a bean. 

As soon as you notice that some of your 
young flock gape at times, if you are not already 
using Gold Coin Poultry Food begin at once to 
use it according to the directions placed in the 
top of each package. 



ROUP. 



Roup comes from bad colds, therefore usually 
occurs in the winter. You can tell it by the bad 
smell. The eyes swell shut sometimes so the 
chicken cannot see to eat or drink. The throat is « 
filled with thick mucus, causing noisy breathing. ' 

Roup is due to a germ, therefore it is catch- 
ing and very dangerous. The sick fowl should be 
put in a warm, dry place. The swollen head 
should be bathed in the following solution: One 
teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of Gold Coin 
Germ Killer, and four quarts of warm water. 
Bathe the head twice a day, morning and after- 
noon, each time in fresh solution as stated above. 
Feed two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food 
in two quarts of ground feed for each 15 hens, 
three times a day, to strengthen the vitality and ' 
promote secretions to eliminate the germs from 
the system. If you will feed double or even 
larger doses of Gold Coin Poultry Food accord- 
ing to the special directions in the top of each_ 
package you can cure almost all. But some of 
the bad cases which you neglected at the begin- 
ning before you knew what the disease was, will 
probably die. These dead carcasses should be 
burned. As the disease usually occurs in winter, 
and owing to cold, damp coops, it is not advisable 
to sprinkle it with a disinfectant solution, but ♦ 
when spring time comes do not fail to thoroughly 
disinfect your coop with a strong solution of Gold 
Coin Germ Killer (one tablespoonful to a pail Tof 
water.) 

PREVENTION OF ROUP: As Roup is due ^ 
to a germ (similar to the diphtheria germ) it is 
far easier to prevent than cure the disease. If 
3'ou keep up the strength and vitality of your k| 
flock by seeing that they properly digest and 
assimilate their feed, and if you have your coops 
dry and reasonably warm, you will have no

trouble with roup, colds, diphtheria, etc. But you 
will not merely have your hens free from disease, 
if you use Gold Coin Poultry Food regularly, 
, your hens will lay all winter, when eggs are 
worth 25 to 30 cents a dozen. 

DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep 

•' the digestive organs in good working condition 
so the strength and vitality of the system can 
throw off any invading disease germs. The par- 

- ^icular action of the Gold Coin Poultry Food on 
the system is to make good digestion. The poul- 
try get the benefit in flesh and blood of every 
ounce of feed they get when Gold Coin Poultry 
Food is fed regularly. To keep good health and 

' strength, make rapid growth and increase egg 
laying, mix one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry 
Food to two quarts of ground feed for each 15 
chickens and feed once or twice a day according 
to how quickly you wish to grow or fatten them, 

'^'or to increase the egg laying. If you have never 
used the Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and 
get a full size package and try it at our expense. 

CROP BOUND. 

This is due to undigested food in crop. The 
undigested food gets hard. The crop hangs down. 
Pour -some warm milk down the fowl's throat, 
then gently rub and squeeze the crop and thus 

^ soften the hardened mass. Feed soft food for 
about a week. Always feed your chickens Gold 
Coin Poultry Food regularly once a day and you 

, will never have this trouble. Chickens being fat- 
tened are more liable to get crop bound. These 
are just the fowls you don't want to get sick, as 
it sets them back. Therefore, especially feed these 
fowl the poultry food regularly. 



TURKEYS. 

THE MOST PROFITABLE BREEDS. 

The "Common" and the "White Holland" tur- 
keys stand in the lead for profit. If you are rais- 
ing turkeys for profit, fed them Gold Coin Poultry 
Food. It's got the stuff in it that makes big 
^turkeys. And turkeys like it. They will eat it 
" pure right out of the hand, there is nothing in 
the world that can do them so much good. "Com- 
mon" turkeys are black and white; medium size; 
weigh 10 to 15 pounds; hardy, easy to raise and 
not much inclined to roam. The Holland turkey 
is white, a good egg layer, very domestic, and 
•■ easily fattened because of its quiet habits and con- 
stant desire for Gold Coin Poultry Food. These 
are the turkeys for the farmer. Some like the 
"Bronze" turkeys, and we can say from experience 
. that they are a good breed. They do just as well 
f in the West as they do in the East. Medium 
sized turkeys sell best. A 40-pound turkey is too 
large for an average family. People don't want 
f large turkeys; they want fat ones. >Ten to fifteen 
pounds is about right. Turkeys want a high open 
shed with windows to the south, and high roosts, 
rather than a low, close shed in winter like chick- 
ens. They bring great profit. 



LEG WEAKNESS. 

The fowls cannot support themselves on their 
legs. It is due to a partial paralysis of the limbs. 
This affliction will rarely or never occur in flocks 
in which Gold Coin Poultry Food is regularly 
used. For the afflicted fowl mix a little ground 
feed with an equal part of Gold Coin Poultry 
Food and feed a little four or five times a day. 
Keep it out of the sun and see that it has water 
to drink. When this disease afflicts one of the 
fowls, begin to feed the whole flock two measure- 
fuls in their feed twice a day, for the same cause 
that produced it in the afflicted fowl may operate 
in others. An ounce o'f prevention is worth a 
pound of cure. Feed Gold Coin Poultry Food 
one measureful to two quarts of ground feed to 
each 15 hens once or twice a day and prevent 
sickness coming in. Sickness in hens, like in 
people, causes loss of flesh. Sickness, then, means 
to you, , as poulterer, waste of flesh and eggs, that 
is waste of feed — waste of money. You can't 
afford to have sickness in your flock. Gold Coin 
Poultry Food is the cheapest on the market be- 
cause it is the best and goes the farthest. It pre- 
vents and cures all poultry diseases. 

TURKEY DISEASES. 

Turkeys have the same diseases as chickens — 
Cholera, Roup, Pip, Gapes, etc. And should be 
treated in the same way, excepting that you 
double the dose of the poultry food. The internal 
organs of a turkey are the same as those of a 
chicken, therefore the Poultry Food has the same 
fattening and laying effect on turkeys. It keeps 
them in good health and free from disease. If 
you are raising turkeys for the m.arket, you will 
find from experience that Gold Coin Poultry Food 
is very profitable to feed to turkeys, as well as all 
other fowls. Try it.

DISINFECTION 

MADE EASY AND PERFECT BY SCI- 
ENCE — After cleaning the hen coops or hog pens 
always sprinkle well with solution of Gold Coin 
Germ Killer. Mix one tablespoonful in a pail of 
water, and notice how fresh and clean it makes 
the houses smell and feel. It is the cheapest be- 
cause it is the strongest and goes the farthest.

POULTRY DISEASES (Concluded). 



EGG BOUND. 

Give large dose of castor oil by the mouth, and 
inject about a tablespoonful into the egg-passage 
— this will usually allow the egg to pass, and effect 
a cure. An egg-bound hen looks like one with 
cholera; they droop; the comb becomes bluish; 
whitish discharge from the egg-passage; droop- 
ing wings; but the hen stands upright, she goes to 
the nest, but can't lay. Always attend to them at 
once, as the hen may die. Feed Gold Coin Poul- 
try Food liberally to such hens, to get healthy 
egg formation. 

FEEDING. 

Young Chicks, Turkeys, Ducklings and Goslings. 

Little chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese are 
immensely improved in development and strength 
by Gold Coin Poultry Food. You give one 
measureful in warm, wet feed to every 30 to 40 
chicks, three times a day. Double the dose for 
turkeys, ducks and geese. It gives better shape, 
quicker development and increases plumpness in 
three-quarters of the time. It gives them strong 
constitutions which prevents loss by death of 
young chicks and turkeys. It fattens them quicker 
and at much less expense; and best of all, it gives 
the meat a most delicious flavor and texture, thus 
commanding the highest market values. As a 
scientific Poultry Food, Gold Coin special Poul- 
try Food is as yet far in advance of any other 
food put upon the market. Thousands of Amer- 
ica's largest poultry raisers substantiate our claim 
that Gold Coin Poultry Food is the CHEAPEST 
and BEST food made today, because it goes the 
farthest and gives the best results. As compared 
with other foods it has 50 per cent more creative 
power than other foods. It is perfectly harmless, 
contains absolutely No Poisons of any kind. The 
question is now scientifically settled, that to be 
successful in poultry raising you must use a 
poultry food — and scientists have proved that 
Gold Coin Special Poultry Food is vastly super- 
ior to any food on the market at the present time. 
If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food 
it will pay you to write to us direct and buy a 
package and test it at our expense. This is the 
fairest oflfer ever made to any farmer or poultry

We will forfeit $5,000 and the cost of the 
chemical analysis to any one who can prove that 
Gold Coin Poultry Food contains injurious in- 
gredients. It is a vegetable, medical and chem- 
ical combination which contains the elements 
made by nature that stimulate and create egg 
production. 

FOUR GOOD THINGS. 

(1) Don't fail to have good water, (2) chopped 
green food with Gold Coin Poultry Food mixed - 
in with it. (3) Lime, gravel, crushed oyster shells. 
(4) And dust baths where young chickens can get 
at them. It means money to you. 



NO FOWLS WILL DO WELL 

Unless Their Digestive Organs Are in Healthy 
Condition. 

Gold Coin Poultry Food stimulates digestion, 
increases egg-laying, and gives you strong, 
healthy and more profitable chickens. 



A COW, WITH CHICKENS, DOUBLES THE 
POULTERER'S PROFITS. 

Unless you are a dairyman cows will hardly 
pay you if you do not keep chickens. If you do 
keep chickens a cow will pay you five times over 
every year. You will have 50 per cent better 
success with your young chicks and 25 per cent 
better success with your eggs. You need skim i 
milk and sour milk. If you use Gold Coin Cattle 
Fattener according to directions of "feeding for 
milk and butter" your skim milk will be as rich 
for your chickens as fresh milk from other cows. 
The Gold Coin Cattle Fattener makes the cow 
digest and convert into fat (cream) everything she 
eats. It saves you 15 to 25 per cent of feed. Some 
dairymen claim that it saves 35 per cent. If you 
have never used it, write to us and buy a package 
and test it at our expense. It is the cheapest be- 
cause it is the strongest and goes the farthest. It 
is a vegetable medical preparation containing the 
elements made by nature which stimulate and 
create milk and fat (cream). 



St. Peter, Minn., July 20, 1903. 
Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Chicago, 111. 

Gentlemen: I want to let you know how suc- 
cessful I have been with your Egg-a-day. My 
hens are mostly Plymouth Rocks and mixed 
breeds, but they have only a confined space to 
run in and I never thought I should be able to 
do very well with them beyond getting enough 
eggs for my own use. But from the first week 
I began to use Egg-a-day my hens increased in 
laying eggs, and now I usually have a couple of i'l 
dozen eggs a week to sell, where I never used to 
be able to get more than we needed in the house. 

Your "Gold Coin Louse Killer" has freed my » 
hen house and hens from lice. It is great.

THE COLD COIN WEANER 




Position when calf is trying to suck. Calf cannot 
suck or hurt its mother or itself, as there are no 
prongs, but it can eat on the ground or in a box. 




THE BEST 

WEANER 

EVER MADE 

FOR CALVES, COLTS 
OR COWS. 

ove[ 200,000 in U83. 




Position when eating grass, grain or hay. 
Cow can eat but cannot sucl? herself. 



THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL WEANER IN THE WORLD-WHY? 

1. Put the Weaner on the colts or calves and turn them loose with their mothers. They can 
not suck nor hurt their mothers nor themselves, as there are no prongs. 

2. They can eat grass, hay or grain on the ground, and drink water or milk without trouble. 
You will not need a colt or calf pasture when you use the Gold Coin Weaner. 

3. No cow can suck herself or any other cows, but can eat ear-corn or bran in box, also 
grass or hay. 

4. It will wean colts as well as calves. 

5. To break a horse of cribbing, or to prevent a vicious horse from biting it has no equal, but 
will allow them to eat and drink with ease. 

6. Put large size on horses when you plow corn the last time, or cut fodder or pick sweet corn, or 
husk field corn, and they cannot eat the corn, as it is impossible for an animal to eat anything that 
stands up, such as corn, trees, etc. 

7. If your cornfield has grass in it after the corn has grown, put the Weaner on the animals and 
turn them loose in the cornfield. They cannot eat the corn, but will eat the grass; of course, if they 
find corn on the ground they will eat it. 

THE ADVANTAGES OF A GOOD WEANER. 

If you have a first-class milk cow that sucks herself put a Gold Coin Cow AVeaner on her, and save $1.00 worth of milk 
the first week. Veterinaries say. as a rule, all cows that suck themselves are first-class milkers, because their udder gets so 
fuU of milk it pains them, and they lick the udder with their tongue to relieve the pain, and in this way get a taste of the milk 
and they suck themselves, and finds it relieves them. Once they get in this bad habit, some farmers have told me that there 
was only one way to break them, and that was to cut their throats, as they had tried nearly everything; but after trying the 
Gold Coin Cow Weaner they acknowledged they were mistaken, which you will see in some of their testimonials in our 
circulars. 

Put No. 1 CALF WEANER on a colt or calf, and turn it loose in pasture with its mother, no matter if the fence has but 
two wires, the calf or colt will not leave its mother but wiU be contented, and the cow will be contented, and it will learn to 
eat grass much quicker than it would by itself or even in calf-pasture with lots of other calves: and you all know when two 
or more calves are in the calf-pasture together they learn that awful bad habit of sucking one another's ears, etc., and 
they never do well, and if you tie your calf witharope.it will run around and twist the rope until it chokes itself most to 
death: and how cruel it would be to give the flies such an advantage over the poor calf. 

It will save annoyance of calves and cows bellowing aU day and night, which injures them both. 

The Gold Coin Weaner is better than a calf pasture itself. 

The Weaners are made of the best steel wire and dipped in hot tin after they are made, so they wiU not rust and also 
makes them very solid and strong, as the frame wire is braced in such a way that it is impossible for it to break. It will wear 
for several years.

TO GURE DISTEMPER. 

At the very first signs of the disease give one tablespoonful every 
two hours. This may ward off the disease. If not, then give the 
animal one tablespoonful three time a day, wet up with the regular 
feed, until cured. You will find this a most excellent remedy for dis- 
temper. There is no other cold and distemper cure on the market 
to compare with it. For Colts: Give only one teaspoonful to 
the dose. Remember, this remedy is sold on a guarantee to give sat- 
isfaction or money refunded. 




TO CURE GOLDS AND GOUGHS. 

For Orown Animals: Give two tablespoon- 
fuls four times a day, if the case is severe, and as soon 
ascimproved reduce to one tablespoonful twice a day 
until cured. This will effect a cure where other reme- 
dies utterly fail. Give it a trial and you will never use 
anv other. 



TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA. 

As soon as you notice the first signs of pneumonia, 
that is, shivering, feverishness, etc., give one table- 
spoonful of "Gold Coin Cold and Distemper Cure" 
every hour for four or five hours, or until the animal is 
improved, and then g^ive one tablespoonful three times 
a day until entirely well. This treatment has saved 
many a horse's life.

shoes, as to allow good pressure of the frog which will spread 
the heels. After cured continue the use of the "Foot 
Remedy" to keep the feet well.

Many of the "Dips" and "Disinfectants" used as sheep dips, now on the market, and used by many Stockmen contain 
Caustic Soda. If these stockmen were chemists and knew what effect Caustic Soda has on the growth of hair they would 
stop using it at once If a man's head is shampooed frequently with a solution of Caustic Soda he will become bald in a 
short time. It takes all the oil out of the hair and injures the roots. It does the same to sheep It takes out the oil which 
means less weight and less profit for you, and the injury done to the roots means a smaller yield of wool the following 
season. Beware of such preparations. "Gold Coin Sheep Dip" is prepared with those points in view. It does not 
touch the oil. Remember the oil is quite an item in the weight of wool, and it does not injure the hair follicles, therefore 
it allows you full weight, and does not decrease the yield of wool the following season, on the contrary, being a good anti- 
septic healer and stimulant, it's tendency is to increase the growth of wool We have endeavored to make "Gold Coin Sheep 
Dip" a money-maker for the sheep-raiser as well as a Louse, Tick, Scab and Ringworm Killer Try it on our guarantee.

Gold Coin Stock Food Co.'s Exhibit at the International Fat Stock Show, Chicago, 1903. It was pro- 
nounced by all who saw it as the biggest and finest exhibit at the show. 



OVER 15,000 ORDERS 



were ^iven for Gold Coin StocK Foods and Remedies during the show 
week, by farmers and stock-raisers who came from all parts of the country. 
They wanted it as soon as they saw it, because they could easily understand how 
it must be better than the common stock foods they had been feeding. They 
wanted something better, and the new scientific Gold Coin Foods supplied their 
wants. 

"THE GOLD COIN CJTTLE FtTTEHER" 

- AND 



"THE GOLD COIN HOG FATTENER" 



Sold in the largest quantities, but "Horse Tonic" and "Egg-A-Day'" were close seconds. 



GOLD COIN SHEEP DIP 



Was also sold in great quantities. It is 
considered by sheepraisers the very BEST 
sheep dip. It is the most practical, because 

it does not discolor the wool like other dips. It goes twice as far and costs much less. Write for

The Hunter Land Co. owns and Controls lar^-e tracts of Virgin 
Prairie and Timber Lands tliroug'hout the entire West. In North Dakota we

free from stumps and stones; no floods, good water and markets. Many of 
our lands are underlaid with vast deposits of Lignite Coal. As yet we have 
made no reservations in our contracts. We are owners, not agents, and our 
prices are lower than asked for similar lands by any other land compan}^ in 
America. The Hunter Land Co. was organized in 1882, nearh^ a quarter of 
a centur}^ ago, and during that time has sold over 2,300,000 acres. Two 
million, three hundred thousand acres! — think of it — the purchasers of which 
have all made money. We are a Large Land Department Store and have some=

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING TO GET 
SPECIAL RESULTS. 

Our Poods are based on scieutific principles, one 
Food is not supposed to do every thin^. Each 
Food has its own particular action, as follows: 

1. "Gold Coin Cattle Food and Fattener." 

For cattle only (and its kind). 

2. "Gold Coin Hog: Food and Fattener." 

For hogs only. 

3. "Gold Coin Horse Tonic. '♦ 

A Tonic for horses only. It puts life, energy, 
spirit in them, hardens the muscles, and makes 
them willing w^orkers. 

4. "Gold Coin Poultry Food.'» 

For fowls only. It increases egg production. 

Scientific foods for • scientific purposes. A 
food that is so compounded that it performs a sci- 
entific purpose, can do that one thing a great deal 
better than a food that is supposed to do every- 
thing. The common sense of the best stockmen 
and farmers all aver the world back up our 
scientific preparations. They repeatedly praise 
our Cattle Fattener for its fattening effects upon 
cattle, steers, etc. Hog raisers praise the Hog 
Food to the skies, they say that it acts specifi- 
cally on hogs in a way that no stock food ever 
did before. It actually fattens hogs in much less 
time and puts an elegant "finish" on them. Why 
shouldn't it? It is a Specific Food for hogs — 
hogs only. It is something you have never used 
before. It is one of the new and useful scientific 
discoveries of this great age of progress. 



BUY ONLY SCIENTIFIC FOODS. 

Don't accept cheap imitations which some 
dealers may try to palm off onto you. Insist oh 
having only the Genuine Gold Coin Stock Food 
Co.'s preparations. Always refuse substitutes, 
which the dealers say are "just as good" for they 
are usually cheap, worthless preparations which 
give the dealers a little more profit, but make you 
lose good money.- Remember that "Gold Coin 
Stock Food Co.'s Foods" are sold on a positive 
Cash Guarantee, and they cost you nothing if 
they ever fail.
